rwsem: let RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS represent any number of waiting threads
Previously each waiting thread added a bias of RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. With this change, the bias is added only once to indicate that the wait list is non-empty. This has a few nice properties which will be used in following changes: - when the spinlock is held and the waiter list is known to be non-empty, count < RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS <=> there is an active writer on that sem - count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS <=> there are waiting threads and no active readers/writers on that sem Signed-off-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Acked-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Cc: Ying Han <yinghan@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: "H.
