DESCRIPTION
Use the standard hashed waitqueue table to wait for a bit to be cleared. This is similar to wait_on_bit, except also takes a timeout parameter.
Returned value will be zero if the bit was cleared before the timeout elapsed, or non-zero if the timeout elapsed or process received a signal and the mode permitted wakeup on that signal.
