char: nwbutton: open-code interruptible_sleep_on
The nwbutton driver uses interruptible_sleep_on to wait for buttons getting pressed after we enter the read() function, which is inherently racy and cannot be fixed by using wait_event without changing the driver's user space interface. Instead, this patch just uses an open-coded variant of the same interruptible_sleep_on() call, so the driver behavior doesn't change but we remove the sleep_on family from the kernel.
