[PATCH 1/4] rwsem: make the waiter type an enumeration rather than a bitmask

[Michel Lespinasse]

We are not planning to add some new waiter flags, so we can convert the
waiter type into an enumeration.

Background: David Howells suggested I do this back when I tried adding
a new waiter type for unfair readers. However, I believe the cleanup
applies regardless of that use case.
