Subject[PATCH 2/2] sched/wait: add wait_event_idle_exclusive_lifo()
wait_event_*_exclusive() adds new waiters to the end of the
quest, while non-exclusive wait_event adds to the head.

This ensures that a wake_up will wake all non-exclusive
waiters and at most one exclusive wait, but it means that
exclusive waiters are woken in a FIFO order, so the task
woken is the one least likely to have data in the CPU cache.

When simple interaction with non-exclusive waiters is not
important, and when choosing a cache-hot task is, the new

wait_event_idle_exclusive_lifo()
and
wait_event_idle_exclusive_lifo_timeout()

can be used. To implement these we introduce a new
WQ_FLAG_LIFO which causes prepare_to_wait_event() to
add to the head of the queue.

This will be used to allow lustre's l_wait_event() to be
replaced with more standard wait.h macros.
