Using init_wait_func() does not require someone waiting for it. AFAICS, you
should be able to do the same thing that you did - allocating the done
entries individually and freeing them when the done count reaches zero
without anyone waiting for it. waitq doesn't really make many assumptions
about how it's used - when you call wake_up() on it, it just walks the
queued entries and invoke the callbacks there.

Thanks.
