Oleg Nesterov 9390ef0c85 percpu_rw_semaphore: kill ->writer_mutex, add ->write_ctr
percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial
rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise
could be called by multiple writers.  ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the
writers.

Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead.  The writers
increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of
mutex_is_locked().

Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to
avoid the race with other writers.  This is a bit sub-optimal, only the
first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this
stage.  But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we
add more features.

And this speeds up the write-contended case.  Before this patch the racing
writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this
patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each
other.  Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.
