[PATCH 03/11] rwsem: fully separate code pathes to wake writers vs readers

[Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com>]

This is in preparation to later changes in the series.

In __rwsem_do_wake(), the first queued waiter is checked first in order
to determine whether it's a writer or a reader. The code paths diverge
at this point. The code that checks and increments the rwsem active count
is duplicated on both sides - the point is that later changes in the
series will be able to independently modify both sides.
