rq-qos sits in the io path so we want to take locks as sparingly as possible. To accomplish this we try not to take the waitqueue head lock unless we are sure we need to go to sleep, and we have an optimization to make sure that we don't starve out existing waiters. Since we check if there are existing waiters locklessly we need to be able to update our view of the waitqueue list after we've added ourselves to the waitqueue. Accomplish this by adding this helper to see if there is more than just ourselves on the list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
