Subject: [PATCH v2 11/17] locking/rwsem: Mark rwsem.wait_lock as a terminal lock

The wait_lock in a rwsem is always acquired with IRQ disabled. For the
rwsem-xadd.c implementation, no other lock will be called while holding
the wait_lock. So it satisfies the condition of being a terminal lock.
By marking it as terminal,  the lockdep overhead will be reduced.
