Subject: [PATCH 08/12] rwsem: smaller wrappers around rwsem_down_failed_common

More code can be pushed from rwsem_down_read_failed and
rwsem_down_write_failed into rwsem_down_failed_common.

Following change also enjoys having flags available in a register rather
than having to fish it out in the struct rwsem_waiter...
