This is the real nitpick, but I wonder what is the right behaviour
of wait_for_completion_timeout(x, 0) when x->done != 0. Perhaps we
can return 1 in that case too, just for the consistency?

IOW, how about the patch below? this also makes the code a bit
simpler because we factor out __remove_wait_queue().
