4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Miklos Szeredi mszeredi@redhat.com
commit 908a572b80f6e9577b45e81b3dfe2e22111286b8 upstream.
Using waitqueue_active() is racy. Make sure we issue a wake_up() unconditionally after storing into fc->blocked. After that it's okay to optimize with waitqueue_active() since the first wake up provides the necessary barrier for all waiters, not the just the woken one.
