locking/percpu-rwsem: Remove the embedded rwsem
The filesystem freezer uses percpu-rwsem in a way that is effectively write_non_owner() and achieves this with a few horrible hacks that rely on the rwsem (!percpu) implementation. When PREEMPT_RT replaces the rwsem implementation with a PI aware variant this comes apart. Remove the embedded rwsem and implement it using a waitqueue and an atomic_t. - make readers_block an atomic, and use it, with the waitqueue for a blocking test-and-set write-side. - have the read-side wait for the 'lock' state to clear. Have the waiters use FIFO queueing and mark them (reader/writer) with a new WQ_FLAG. Use a custom wake_function to wake either a single writer or all readers until a writer.
