klist: del waiter from klist_remove_waiters before wakeup waitting process
There is a race between klist_remove and klist_release. klist_remove uses a local var waiter saved on stack. When klist_release calls wake_up_process(waiter->process) to wake up the waiter, waiter might run immediately and reuse the stack. Then, klist_release calls list_del(&waiter->list) to change previous wait data and cause prior waiter thread corrupt. The patch fixes it against kernel 3.9.
