sbitmap: Try each queue to wake up at least one waiter

commit 26edb30dd1c0c9be11fa676b4f330ada7b794ba6 upstream.

Jan reported the new algorithm as merged might be problematic if the
queue being awaken becomes empty between the waitqueue_active inside
sbq_wake_ptr check and the wake up.  If that happens, wake_up_nr will
not wake up any waiter and we loose too many wake ups.  In order to
guarantee progress, we need to wake up at least one waiter here, if
there are any.  This now requires trying to wake up from every queue.

Instead of walking through all the queues with sbq_wake_ptr, this call
moves the wake up inside that function.  In a previous version of the
patch, I found that updating wake_index several times when walking
through queues had a measurable overhead.  This ensures we only update
it once, at the end.
