[PATCH v5 02/45] percpu_rwlock: Introduce per-CPU variables for thereader and the writer

[Srivatsa S. Bhat]

Per-CPU rwlocks ought to give better performance than global rwlocks.
That is where the "per-CPU" component comes in. So introduce the necessary
per-CPU variables that would be necessary at the reader and the writer sides,
and add the support for dynamically initializing per-CPU rwlocks.
These per-CPU variables will be used subsequently to implement the core
algorithm behind per-CPU rwlocks.
