locking/rwlocks: Introduce 'qrwlocks' - fair, queued rwlocks
This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the
arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting
rwlock is a fair lock.
It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the
reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4
bytes for the arch_spinlock_t.
Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize
queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).
Performance as measured by Davidlohr Bueso (rwlock_t -> qrwlock_t):
