    ms/pid_ns: Sleep in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in zap_pid_ns_processes
    
    The code can potentially sleep for an indefinite amount of time in
    zap_pid_ns_processes triggering the hung task timeout, and increasing
    the system average.  This is undesirable.  Sleep with a task state of
    TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead of TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to remove these
    undesirable side effects.
    
    Apparently under heavy load this has been allowing Chrome to trigger
    the hung time task timeout error and cause ChromeOS to reboot.
