locking/rwsem: Improve reader wakeup code In __rwsem_do_wake(), the reader wakeup code will assume a writer has stolen the lock if the active reader/writer count is not 0. However, this is not as reliable an indicator as the original "< RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS" check. If another reader is present, the code will still break out and exit even if the writer is gone. This patch changes it to check the same "< RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS" condition to reduce the chance of false positive.
