locking/rwsem: Optimize write lock by reducing operations in slowpath When acquiring the rwsem write lock in the slowpath, we first try to set count to RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. When that is successful, we then atomically add the RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS in cases where there are other tasks on the wait list. This causes write lock operations to often issue multiple atomic operations. We can instead make the list_is_singular() check first, and then set the count accordingly, so that we issue at most 1 atomic operation when acquiring the write lock and reduce unnecessary cacheline contention.
