nfs: fix high load average due to callback thread sleeping

Chuck pointed out a problem that crept in with commit 6ffa30d3f734 (nfs:
don't call blocking operations while !TASK_RUNNING). Linux counts tasks
in uninterruptible sleep against the load average, so this caused the
system's load average to be pinned at at least 1 when there was a
NFSv4.1+ mount active.

Not a huge problem, but it's probably worth fixing before we get too
many complaints about it. This patch converts the code back to use
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE sleep, simply has it flush any signals on each loop
iteration. In practice no one should really be signalling this thread at
all, so I think this is reasonably safe.

With this change, there's also no need to game the hung task watchdog so
we can also convert the schedule_timeout call back to a normal schedule.
