Subject: [PATCH 3.16 219/245] tty: vt: Fix !TASK_RUNNING diagnostic
 warning from paste_selection()

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com>

commit 61e86cc90af49cecef9c54ccea1f572fbcb695ac upstream.

Pasting text with gpm on a VC produced warning [1]. Reset task state
to TASK_RUNNING in the paste_selection() loop, if the loop did not
sleep.
