    We're seeing crashes from rq_qos_wake_function that look like this:

       wb_timer_fn+0x227/0x450
       ...
    
    So rq_qos_wake_function() calls wake_up_process(data->task), which calls
    try_to_wake_up(), which faults in raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&p->pi_lock).
    
    p comes from data->task, and data comes from the waitqueue entry, which
    is stored on the waiter's stack in rq_qos_wait(). Analyzing the core
    dump with drgn, I found that the waiter had already woken up and moved
    on to a completely unrelated code path, clobbering what was previously
    data->task. Meanwhile, the waker was passing the clobbered garbage in
    data->task to wake_up_process(), leading to the crash.
    
    What's happening is that in between rq_qos_wake_function() deleting the
    waitqueue entry and calling wake_up_process(), rq_qos_wait() is finding
    that it already got a token and returning. The race looks like this:
    
    rq_qos_wait()                           rq_qos_wake_function()
    ==============================================================
    prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
                                            data->got_token = true;
                                            list_del_init(&curr->entry);
    if (data.got_token)
            break;
    finish_wait(&rqw->wait, &data.wq);
      ^- returns immediately because
         list_empty_careful(&wq_entry->entry)
         is true
    ... return, go do something else ...
                                            wake_up_process(data->task)
                                              (NO LONGER VALID!)-^
    
    Normally, finish_wait() is supposed to synchronize against the waker.
    But, as noted above, it is returning immediately because the waitqueue
    entry has already been removed from the waitqueue.
    
    The bug is that rq_qos_wake_function() is accessing the waitqueue entry
    AFTER deleting it. Note that autoremove_wake_function() wakes the waiter
    and THEN deletes the waitqueue entry, which is the proper order.
    
    Fix it by swapping the order. We also need to use
    list_del_init_careful() to match the list_empty_careful() in
    finish_wait().
