Commit 7b72d661f1f2f950ab8c12de7e2bc48bdac8ed69 upstream.
A previous commit made all cqring waits marked as iowait, as a way to improve performance for short schedules with pending IO. However, for use cases that have a special reaper thread that does nothing but wait on events on the ring, this causes a cosmetic issue where we know have one core marked as being "busy" with 100% iowait.
While this isn't a grave issue, it is confusing to users. Rather than always mark us as being in iowait, gate setting of current->in_iowait to 1 by whether or not the waiting task has pending requests.
