locking/rwsem: Always release wait_lock before waking up tasks With the use of wake_q, we can do task wakeups without holding the wait_lock. There is one exception in the rwsem code, though. It is when the writer in the slowpath detects that there are waiters ahead but the rwsem is not held by a writer. This can lead to a long wait_lock hold time especially when a large number of readers are to be woken up. Remediate this situation by releasing the wait_lock before waking up tasks and re-acquiring it afterward. The rwsem_try_write_lock() function is also modified to read the rwsem count directly to avoid stale count value.
