Subject: [PATCH] fscache: Use wake_up_var() to wake up pending volume acquisition

From: Hou Tao <houtao1@...wei.com>

The freeing of relinquished volume will wake up the pending volume
acquisition by using wake_up_bit(), however it is mismatched with
wait_var_event() used in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() and it will
never wake up the waiter in the wait-queue because these two functions
operate on different wait-queues.

According to the implementation in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision(),
if the wake-up of pending acquisition is delayed longer than 20 seconds
(e.g., due to the delay of on-demand fd closing), the first
wait_var_event_timeout() will timeout and the following wait_var_event()
will hang forever as shown below:

  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

Fixing it by using wake_up_var() instead of wake_up_bit(). In addition
because waitqueue_active() is used in wake_up_var() and clear_bit()
doesn't imply any memory barrier, so do smp_mb__after_atomic() before
invoking wake_up_var().
