I have tried to run the test case from Tetsuo[1] with a small printk to
show the interrupted writer case:
[ 2753.596678] XXX: Writer interrupted. Woken waiters:0
[ 2998.266978] XXX: Writer interrupted. Woken waiters:0

which means rwsem_atomic_update(-RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, sem) path which is
the problematic case. oom_reaper was always able to succeed so I guess
the patch works as expected. I will leave the test run for longer to be
sure.
