wait-simple: Simple waitqueue implementation

wait_queue is a swiss army knife and in most of the cases the
complexity is not needed. For RT waitqueues are a constant source of
trouble as we can't convert the head lock to a raw spinlock due to
fancy and long lasting callbacks.

Provide a slim version, which allows RT to replace wait queues. This
should go mainline as well, as it lowers memory consumption and
runtime overhead.
