Jason Low debfab74e4 locking/rwsem: Avoid double checking before try acquiring write lock
Commit 9b0fc9c09f ("rwsem: skip initial trylock in rwsem_down_write_failed")
checks for if there are known active lockers in order to avoid write trylocking
using expensive cmpxchg() when it likely wouldn't get the lock.

However, a subsequent patch was added such that we directly
check for sem->count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS right before trying
that cmpxchg().

Thus, commit 9b0fc9c09f now just adds overhead.

This patch modifies it so that we only do a check for if
count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS.

Also, add a comment on why we do an "extra check" of count
before the cmpxchg().

* (WAITING_BIAS)
* Note: writer can attempt to steal lock for this count by adding

*
* 0xfffe0001 (1) 1 writer active, or attempting lock. Waiters on queue.
* (ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS + WAITING_BIAS)

* Note: Readers attempt to lock by adding ACTIVE_BIAS in down_read and checking
* the count becomes more than 0 for successful lock acquisition,
* i.e. the case where there are only readers or nobody has lock.
* (1st and 2nd case above).
*
* Writers attempt to lock by adding ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS in down_write and
* checking the count becomes ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS for successful lock
* acquisition (i.e. nobody else has lock or attempts lock). If
* unsuccessful, in rwsem_down_write_failed, we'll check to see if there
* are only waiters but none active (5th case above), and attempt to
* steal the lock.
