Subject: [PATCH 186/351] block: Use cpu_chill() for retry loops
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=8b021010d1896544df3c81965258e0911ce63f14

Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was
preempted. Steven also observed a live lock when there was a
concurrent priority boosting going on.

Use cpu_chill() instead of cpu_relax() to let the system
make progress.
