Subject: [PATCH 09/11] rwsem: down_read_critical infrastructure support

Add rwsem_down_read_unfair_failed() function in the non-generic rwsem
library code, similar to  rwsem_down_read_failed() except that blocked
threads are placed at the head of the queue.

Make the waiter type an enumeration rather than a bitmask.
