Farhan Ali f7883f9b5a vfio: Fix WARNING "do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING"
[ Upstream commit 41be3e2618 ]

vfio_dev_present() which is the condition to
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), will call vfio_group_get_device
and try to acquire the mutex group->device_lock.

wait_event_interruptible_timeout() will set the state of the current
task to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, before doing the condition check. This
means that we will try to acquire the mutex while already in a
sleeping state. The scheduler warns us by giving the following
warning:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
