locking/rwsem: Optimize write lock by reducing operations in slowpath
When acquiring the rwsem write lock in the slowpath, we first try
to set count to RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. When that is successful,
we then atomically add the RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS in cases where
there are other tasks on the wait list. This causes write lock
operations to often issue multiple atomic operations.
We can instead make the list_is_singular() check first, and then
set the count accordingly, so that we issue at most 1 atomic
operation when acquiring the write lock and reduce unnecessary
cacheline contention.
