The last patch adds this code after a prepare_to_wait(), which triggered
the warning:

  do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<00000000797e3e20>] prepare_to_wait+0x48/0xf0

Which is correct. The prepare_to_wait() set task state to
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, so I can not call a mutex after that.

I'll send a v2 where I switch this over to spin locks.
