29671f22a8 rwsem: fix rwsem_is_locked() bugs
rwsem_is_locked() tests ->activity without locks, so we should always keep
->activity consistent.  However, the code in __rwsem_do_wake() breaks this
rule, it updates ->activity after _all_ readers waken up, this may give
some reader a wrong ->activity value, thus cause rwsem_is_locked() behaves
wrong.

Quote from Andrew:

"
- we have one or more processes sleeping in down_read(), waiting for access.

- we wake one or more processes up without altering ->activity

- they start to run and they do rwsem_is_locked().  This incorrectly
  returns "false", because the waker process is still crunching away in
  __rwsem_do_wake().

- the waker now alters ->activity, but it was too late.
"

So we need get a spinlock to protect this.  And rwsem_is_locked() should
not block, thus we use spin_trylock_irqsave().

eb92f4ef32 [PATCH] add sem_is_read/write_locked()
Add sem_is_read/write_locked functions to the read/write semaphores, along the
same lines of the *_is_locked spinlock functions.  The swap token tuning patch
uses sem_is_read_locked; sem_is_write_locked is added for completeness.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
