lustre sometimes wants to wait for an event, but abort if
one of a specific list of signals arrives. This is a little
bit like wait_event_killable(), except that the signals are
identified a different way.
So introduce l_wait_event_abortable() which provides this
functionality.
Having separate functions for separate needs is more in line
with the pattern set by include/linux/wait.h, than having a
single function which tries to include all possible needs.
Also introduce l_wait_event_abortable_exclusive().
Note that l_wait_event() return -EINTR on a signal, while
Linux wait_event functions return -ERESTARTSYS.
l_wait_event_{abortable_,}exclusive follow the Linux pattern.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
