Merge branch 'rwsem-optimizations'

Merge rwsem optimizations from Michel Lespinasse:
 "These patches extend Alex Shi's work (which added write lock stealing
  on the rwsem slow path) in order to provide rwsem write lock stealing
  on the fast path (that is, without taking the rwsem's wait_lock).

  I have unfortunately been unable to push this through -next before due
  to Ingo Molnar / David Howells / Peter Zijlstra being busy with other
  things.  However, this has gotten some attention from Rik van Riel and
  Davidlohr Bueso who both commented that they felt this was ready for
  v3.10, and Ingo Molnar has said that he was OK with me pushing
  directly to you.  So, here goes :)

  Davidlohr got the following test results from pgbench running on a
  quad-core laptop:

  (Davidlohr also has one additional patch which further improves
  throughput, though I will ask him to send it directly to you as I have
  suggested some minor changes)."

* emailed patches from Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com>:
  rwsem: no need for explicit signed longs

  rwsem: use cmpxchg for trying to steal write lock
  rwsem: more agressive lock stealing in rwsem_down_write_failed
  rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_write_failed
  rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_read_failed
  rwsem: move rwsem_down_failed_common code into rwsem_down_{read,write}_failed
  rwsem: shorter spinlocked section in rwsem_down_failed_common()
  rwsem: make the waiter type an enumeration rather than a bitmask
