Subject[PATCH 17/15] rcuwait: Inform rcuwait_wake_up() users if a wakeup was attempted
Date
Let the caller know if wake_up_process() was actually called or not;
some users can use this information for ad-hoc. Of course returning
true does not guarantee that wake_up_process() actually woke anything
up.
