[PATCH] Prevent NMI oopser

[Vasily Averin]

Marcello, Andrey

I believe this patch is wrong.
First, it prevent nothing: NMI watchdog is a signal that you wait too 
long with disabled interrupts. Your controller was not answered too 
long, obviously it is a hardware issue.
Second, you could not call schedule() with io_request_lock spinlock taken.

You should unlock io_request_lock before msleep, like in latest versions 
of megaraid2 drivers.

Please fix it.

Thank you,

#   Ok, msleep() backported, but driver isn't fixed. This patch
#   acceptable?
