Subject: [PATCH 7/7] softirq: use bit waits instead of var waits.

The waiting in softirq.c is always waiting for a bit to be cleared.
This makes the bit wait functions seem more suitable.
By switching over we can rid of all explicit barriers.  We also use
wait_on_bit_lock() to avoid an explicit loop.
