wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()
Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be
positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout
elapses. However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed. If the wake-up
handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be
calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the
condition became true before the timeout has passed.
Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true. This
semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see
commit
bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious
failure under heavy load").
Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915. One case even
where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible
wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same
semantics. I very much like this."
