This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the
arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting
rwlock is a fair lock.
It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the
reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4
bytes for the arch_spinlock_t.
Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize
queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).
Performance as measured by Davidlohr Bueso (rwlock_t -> qrwlock_t):

When the system has only one CPU, lglock is effectively a spinlock; map
it directly to spinlock to eliminate the indirection and duplicate code.
In addition to removing overhead, this drops 1.6k of code with a
defconfig modified to have !CONFIG_SMP, and 1.1k with a minimal config.

Notably: changed lib/rwsem* targets from lib- to obj-, no idea about
the ramifications of that.
