Hi,

I checked in a similar implementation that works correctly, and also uses
interruptible_sleep_on a wait queue, so that the call can be interrupted
(the problem with thread_suspend/thread_resume is that it is interruptible).

I think the implementation works fine, but I only did basic testing.  If
there is any problem with it, let us know.

Thanks,
Marcus
