wait: add wait_event_hrtimeout()

Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds
wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout().

Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't
return the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they
return 0 or -ETIME if they timed out.  because I was uncomfortable with
the semantics of doing it the other way (that I could get it right,
anyways).

If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time -
current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not
sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in
hrtimers.

If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining
is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses
that timeout.  Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine
weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too.

I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the
amount of time remaining, the sanest thing to do would be to create a
version that uses absolute timeouts instead of relative.
