[PATCH] locking/percpu_rwsem: Rewrite to not use rwsem

[Peter Zijlstra]

The filesystem freezer uses percpu_rwsem in a way that is effectively
write_non_owner() and achieves this with a few horrible hacks that
rely on the rwsem (!percpu) implementation.

When -RT re-implements rwsem this house of cards comes undone.

Re-implement percpu_rwsem without relying on rwsem.
