locking/rwsem: Enable reader optimistic lock stealing
If the optimistic spinning queue is empty and the rwsem does not have
the handoff or write-lock bits set, it is actually not necessary to
call rwsem_optimistic_spin() to spin on it. Instead, it can steal the
lock directly as its reader bias is in the count already. If it is
the first reader in this state, it will try to wake up other readers
in the wait queue.
With this patch applied, the following were the lock event counts
after rebooting a 2-socket system and a "make -j96" kernel rebuild.
rwsem_opt_rlock=4437
rwsem_rlock=29
rwsem_rlock_steal=19
So lock stealing represents about 0.4% of all the read locks acquired
in the slow path.
