Upstream commit 598881800825 ("vsock: Fix blocking ops call in
prepare_to_wait") was subsequently reverted in 6f57e56a1527, which said:
The commit reverted with this patch caused us to potentially miss wakeups.
Since the condition is not checked between the prepare_to_wait and the
schedule(), if a wakeup happens after the condition is checked but before
the sleep happens, we will miss it. ( A description of the problem can be
found here: http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-6-sect-2 ).
The underlying issue has been fixed instead with f7f9b5e7f8ec ("AF_VSOCK:
Shrink the area influenced by prepare_to_wait").
