New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit
moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait
includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using
the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use
of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant.

The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data
structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd"
before putting it to sleep. "cmd" is always invoked before checking the
"condition" so in case it will change the condition outcome we would not
have to sleep unnecessarily.

All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock
is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the
macro with the lock held.

Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while
using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of
lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

Currently there is not limitation of number of requests in the loop bio
list. This can lead into some nasty situations when the caller spawns
tons of bio requests taking huge amount of memory. This is even more
obvious with discard where blkdev_issue_discard() will submit all bios
for the range and wait for them to finish afterwards. On really big loop
devices and slow backing file system this can lead to OOM situation as
reported by Dave Chinner.

With this patch we will wait in loop_make_request() if the number of
bios in the loop bio list would exceed 'nr_congestion_on'.
We'll wake up the process as we process the bios form the list. Some
threshold hysteresis is in place to avoid high frequency oscillation.

v2: add threshold hysteresis
v3: Wait uninterruptible, use nr_congestion_off/on
v4: use wait_event_lock_irq()

These could be combined - use

	if (flags == TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE && signal_pending(current)) {	\
		ret = -ERESTARTSYS;					\
		break;							\
	}								\

and the compiler will fully remove that code for the
__wait_event_lock_irq() case.

But that's all a pretty small gain, IMO.
