[PATCH v2] virtio-balloon: do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING
virtio balloon has this code:
wait_event_interruptible(vb-config_change,
(diff = towards_target(vb)) != 0
|| vb-need_stats_update
|| kthread_should_stop()
|| freezing(current));
Which is a problem because towards_target() call might block after
wait_event_interruptible sets task state to TAST_INTERRUPTIBLE, causing
the task_struct::state collision typical of nesting of sleeping
primitives
See also http://lwn.net/Articles/628628/ or Thomas's
bug report
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization/24846
for a fuller explanation.
To fix, rewrite using wait_woken.
