tty: Add timed, writer-prioritized rw semaphore

The semantics of a rw semaphore are almost ideally suited
for tty line discipline lifetime management;  multiple active
threads obtain "references" (read locks) while performing i/o
to prevent the loss or change of the current line discipline
(write lock).

Unfortunately, the existing rw_semaphore is ill-suited in other
ways;
1) TIOCSETD ioctl (change line discipline) expects to return an
   error if the line discipline cannot be exclusively locked within
   5 secs. Lock wait timeouts are not supported by rwsem.
2) A tty hangup is expected to halt and scrap pending i/o, so
   exclusive locking must be prioritized.
   Writer priority is not supported by rwsem.

Add ld_semaphore which implements these requirements in a
semantically similar way to rw_semaphore.

Writer priority is handled by separate wait lists for readers and
writers. Pending write waits are priortized before existing read
waits and prevent further read locks.

Wait timeouts are trivially added, but obviously change the lock
semantics as lock attempts can fail (but only due to timeout).

This implementation incorporates the write-lock stealing work of
Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com>.

+ * Ldisc rw semaphore
+ *
+ * The ldisc semaphore is semantically a rw_semaphore but which enforces
+ * an alternate policy, namely:
+ *   1) Supports lock wait timeouts
+ *   2) Write waiter has priority
+ *   3) Downgrading is not supported
+ *
+ * Implementation notes:
+ *   1) Upper half of semaphore count is a wait count (differs from rwsem
+ *	in that rwsem normalizes the upper half to the wait bias)
+ *   2) Lacks overflow checking
+ *
+ * The generic counting was copied and modified from include/asm-generic/rwsem.h
+ * by Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>.
+ *
+ * The scheduling policy was copied and modified from lib/rwsem.c
