I reread the documentation for wait_event_timeout, my bad, all this time 
i assumed it returns

amount of jiffies he spent in waiting while actually it returns "the 
remaining jiffies (at least 1)

if the @condition evaluated
  * to %true before the @timeout elapsed."

Will fix that, please take a look also at the second patch.
