locking/rwsem: Enable lockless waiter wakeup(s) As wake_qs gain users, we can teach rwsems about them such that waiters can be awoken without the wait_lock. This is for both readers and writer, the former being the most ideal candidate as we can batch the wakeups shortening the critical region that much more -- ie writer task blocking a bunch of tasks waiting to service page-faults (mmap_sem readers). In general applying wake_qs to rwsem (xadd) is not difficult as the wait_lock is intended to be released soon _anyways_, with the exception of when a writer slowpath will proactively wakeup any queued readers if it sees that the lock is owned by a reader, in which we simply do the wakeups with the lock held (see comment in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()). Similar to other locking primitives, delaying the waiter being awoken does allow, at least in theory, the lock to be stolen in the case of writers, however no harm was seen in this (in fact lock stealing tends to be a _good_ thing in most workloads), and this is a tiny window anyways. Some page-fault (pft) and mmap_sem intensive benchmarks show some pretty constant reduction in systime (by up to ~8 and ~10%) on a 2-socket, 12 core AMD box.
