During code inspection, the following potential race was seen:

CPU0                                    CPU1
kvm_async_pf_task_wait                  apf_task_wake_one
  [S] prepare_to_swait(&n.wq)
                                          [L] swait_active(&n->wq)
                                          [S] hlist_del_init(&n->link);
  [L] if (!hlist_unhahed(&n.link))
        schedule()

Properly serialize swait_active() checks such that a wakeup is
not missed.
