The use of any kind of wait queue is an overkill for pcpu-rwsems. While one option would be to use the less heavy simple (swait) flavor, this is still too much for what pcpu-rwsems needs. For one, we do not care about any sort of queuing in that the only (rare) time writers (and readers, for that matter) are queued is when trying to acquire the regular contended rw_sem. There cannot be any further queuing as writers are serialized by the rw_sem in the first place. Given that percpu_down_write() must not be called after exit_notify(), we can replace the bulky waitqueue with rcuwait such that a writer can wait for its turn to take the lock. As such, we can avoid the queue handling and locking overhead.
