If you're touching completion.h you need to CC lkml and the people
who wrote/maintain it even if we don't have a proper maintainer.

I don't think adding yet another include into it is a good idea.

As is this whole hack here.  Pleas just add the proper TASK_STATE for
task that can legitimately sleep for very long times  instead of
extending this hack again and again, just like I told Kent when he messed with the timeout.
