Subject: [PATCH 04/12] rwsem: consistently use adjustment variable

Cleanup: previous change introduced an adjustment variable used in
waking writers; the code to wake readers can be made nicer by making
use of that same variable.

Reducing variable count should hopefully help both humans and compilers
looking at this function :)
