[PATCH -tip 0/3] locking/percpu-rwsem: writer-side optimizations

[Davidlohr Bueso]

Hi,

Here are two updates intended for those rare updater cases.

wrt numbers, I'm still trying to figure out this android boot environment
(that calls cgroup_proc_write ipc paths) which might care about these
changes. In the mean time, I'd like to know if anyone has any objections
to these optimizations.

Passed kernel builds with lockdep, as well as an overnight run doing
locktoture.

Thanks.
