[ Upstream commit 5d05e54af3cdbb13cf19c557ff2184781b91a22c ]
Chuck pointed out a problem that crept in with commit 6ffa30d3f734 (nfs: don't call blocking operations while !TASK_RUNNING). Linux counts tasks in uninterruptible sleep against the load average, so this caused the system's load average to be pinned at at least 1 when there was a NFSv4.1+ mount active.
Not a huge problem, but it's probably worth fixing before we get too many complaints about it. This patch converts the code back to use TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE sleep, simply has it flush any signals on each loop iteration. In practice no one should really be signalling this thread at all, so I think this is reasonably safe.
With this change, there's also no need to game the hung task watchdog so we can also convert the schedule_timeout call back to a normal schedule.
