Michel Lespinasse 70bdc6e064 rwsem: lighter active count checks when waking up readers
In __rwsem_do_wake(), we can skip the active count check unless we come
there from up_xxxx().  Also when checking the active count, it is not
actually necessary to increment it; this allows us to get rid of the read
side undo code and simplify the calculation of the final rwsem count
adjustment once we've counted the reader threads to wake.

The basic observation is the following.  When there are waiter threads on
a rwsem and the spinlock is held, other threads can only increment the
active count by trying to grab the rwsem in down_xxxx().  However
down_xxxx() will notice there are waiter threads and take the down_failed
path, blocking to acquire the spinlock on the way there.  Therefore, a
thread observing an active count of zero with waiters queued and the
spinlock held, is protected against other threads acquiring the rwsem
until it wakes the last waiter or releases the spinlock.
