module: Replace over-engineered nested sleep
Since the introduction of the nested sleep warning; we've established that the occasional sleep inside a wait_event() is fine. wait_event() loops are invariant wrt. spurious wakeups, and the occasional sleep has a similar effect on them. As long as its occasional its harmless. Therefore replace the 'correct' but verbose wait_woken() thing with a simple annotation to shut up the warning.
