Davidlohr Bueso b3fd4f03ca locking/rwsem: Avoid deceiving lock spinners ... When readers hold the semaphore, the ->owner is nil. As such, and unlike mutexes, '!owner' does not necessarily imply that the lock is free. This will cause writers to potentially spin excessively as they've been mislead to thinking they have a chance of acquiring the lock, instead of blocking. This patch therefore enhances the counter check when the owner is not set by the time we've broken out of the loop. Otherwise we can return true as a new owner has the lock and thus we want to continue spinning. While at it, we can make rwsem_spin_on_owner() less ambiguos and return right away under need_resched conditions.
