   The process is put to sleep (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) until the
   <em class="parameter"><code>condition</code></em> evaluates to true or a signal is received.
   The <em class="parameter"><code>condition</code></em> is checked each time the waitqueue <em class="parameter"><code>wq</code></em> is woken up.
   </p><p>

   It must be called with wq.lock being held.  This spinlock is
   unlocked while sleeping but <em class="parameter"><code>condition</code></em> testing is done while lock
   is held and when this macro exits the lock is held.
   </p><p>

   The lock is locked/unlocked using <code class="function">spin_lock</code>/<code class="function">spin_unlock</code>
   functions which must match the way they are locked/unlocked outside
   of this macro.
   </p><p>

   The process is put on the wait queue with an WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE flag
   set thus when other process waits process on the list if this
   process is awaken further processes are not considered.
   </p><p>

   <code class="function">wake_up_locked</code> has to be called after changing any variable that could
   change the result of the wait condition.
   </p><p>

   The function will return -ERESTARTSYS if it was interrupted by a
   signal and 0 if <em class="parameter"><code>condition</code></em> evaluated to true.
