This makes me nervous. You are reading lo_bio_count outside the lock. If
you race with the prepare_to_wait() and condition check in
__wait_event(), then you will sleep forever.
md has private helpers for this, seems it would be a good idea to move
these into the regular wait includes and use them here too.
