Both as an exercise to document that we are reading the state outside of
the appropriate mutex and to ensure that we only read the value once
before the multiple comparisons, use READ_ONCE.

I think gcc could also opt to re-evalute and re-load it, resulting to
diverging control flow and hilarity. At least I don't spot any protection
against that in the wait_for macros.

Applied to drm-misc, thanks.
