[LU-14352] Only use wake_up_all when necessary

• Type: Improvement
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.15.0
• Assignee: Neil Brown
• Reporter: Neil Brown

Description

wake_up_all() is only needed when there are threads doing an exclusive wait.

wake_up() will wake up all non-exclusive threads, and at most one exclusive thread.  When non-exclusive waits are used, it is sufficient and preferred to use wake_up() to  wake them up.

wake_up_all() should be reserved for those cases where threads are waiting exclusively, and they all want to be woken up.  Keeping it for the purpose only improve code readability.
