Hmm. In that case I'd sugest to use prepare_to_wait(). This means that
multiple wakeups from refrigerator() won't do unnecessary work, and

we don't need to check list_empty_careful() before schedule, prepare_to_wait()
sets TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE under wait_queue_head_t->lock.

Still, I personally agree with Pavel. Perhaps it is better to just replace
yield() with schedule_timeout(a_bit).
