    wait: introduce wait_event_exclusive_cmd · 9f3520c3

    It's just a variant of wait_event_cmd(), with exclusive flag being set.
    
    For cases like RAID5, which puts many processes to sleep until 1/4
    resources are free, a wake_up wakes up all processes to run, but
    there is one process being able to get the resource as it's protected
    by a spin lock. That ends up introducing heavy lock contentions, and
    hurts performance badly.
    
    Here introduce wait_event_exclusive_cmd to relieve the lock contention
    naturally by letting wake_up just wake up one process.
