Still in progress. rc1 unstable on my platforms due to other issues :(

I've checked this thread and all three commits mentioned there are present in K4.4
>=3.17
commit 743162013d40  sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions
>=4.4
commit 68985633bccb  sched/wait: Fix signal handling in bit wait helpers
>=4.4
commit dfd01f026058  sched/wait: Fix the signal handling fix


Also, It seems first patch, probably, has copy-past error.
I'm not sure and it may be that patch is correct :)
Any way, It doesn't help with this issue if I use wait_on_bit_lock_io in nfs_page_group_lock().
