mm,compaction: serialize waitqueue_active() checks (for real)
Andrea brought to my attention that the L->{L,S} guarantees are completely bogus for this case. I was looking at the diagram, from the offending commit, when that _is_ the race, we had the load reordered already. What we need is at least S->L semantics, thus simply use wq_has_sleeper() to serialize the call for good.
