Blamed commit introduced a busy-wait loop in tipc_exit_net()
to wait for pending UDP bearer cleanup works to complete:
while (atomic_read(&tn->wq_count))
cond_resched();
This loop can busy-wait for a long time if cond_resched() is a NOP. This
typically happens if the netns exit is executed by a high priority task,
or under kernels configured without preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). In
such cases, it wastes CPU cycles and can lead to soft lockups.
Fix this by replacing the busy loop with wait_var_event(), allowing the
thread to sleep properly until the work queue count reaches zero.
Accordingly, update cleanup_bearer() to use atomic_dec_and_test() and
wake_up_var() to wake up the waiter when the count drops to zero.
This uses the global wait queue hash table, avoiding the need to bloat
struct tipc_net with a wait_queue_head_t. The atomic_dec_and_test()
provides the necessary memory barrier to ensure the wakeup is not missed.
