+ *
+ * The waiter is waiting to get the lock, and only one waiter should
+ * be woken up to avoid any thundering herd behavior. We'll set the
+ * WQ_FLAG_WOKEN bit, wake it up, and remove it from the wait queue.
+ *
+ * This is the traditional exclusive wait.
+ *
+ * (b) WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE | WQ_FLAG_CUSTOM:
+ *
+ * The waiter is waiting to get the bit, and additionally wants the
+ * lock to be transferred to it for fair lock behavior. If the lock
+ * cannot be taken, we stop walking the wait queue without waking
+ * the waiter.
+ *
+ * This is the "fair lock handoff" case, and in addition to setting
+ * WQ_FLAG_WOKEN, we set WQ_FLAG_DONE to let the waiter easily see
