Waiman Long 00f3c5a3df 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.

/*
* Wake-queues are lists of tasks with a pending wakeup, whose
* callers have already marked the task as woken internally,
* and can thus carry on. A common use case is being able to
* do the wakeups once the corresponding user lock as been
* released.
*
* We hold reference to each task in the list across the wakeup,
* thus guaranteeing that the memory is still valid by the time
* the actual wakeups are performed in wake_up_q().
*
* One per task suffices, because there's never a need for a task to be
* in two wake queues simultaneously; it is forbidden to abandon a task
* in a wake queue (a call to wake_up_q() _must_ follow), so if a task is
* already in a wake queue, the wakeup will happen soon and the second
* waker can just skip it.
*
* The DEFINE_WAKE_Q macro declares and initializes the list head.
* wake_up_q() does NOT reinitialize the list; it's expected to be
* called near the end of a function. Otherwise, the list can be
* re-initialized for later re-use by wake_q_init().
*
* NOTE that this can cause spurious wakeups. schedule() callers
* must ensure the call is done inside a loop, confirming that the
* wakeup condition has in fact occurred.
*
* NOTE that there is no guarantee the wakeup will happen any later than the
* wake_q_add() location. Therefore task must be ready to be woken at the
* location of the wake_q_add().
