[PATCH] napi: use non-interruptible sleep in napi_disable

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Date: Wed Oct 24 2007 - 23:59:35 EST


The current napi_disable() uses msleep_interruptible() but doesn't
(and can't) exit in case there's a signal, thus ending up doing a
hot spin without a cpu_relax. Use uninterruptible sleep instead.
