Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86: fix write lock scalability 64-bit issue

With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there is, on
large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing the 32-bit
value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more CPUs manage to do the
subtraction, but don't get to do the inverse addition in the failure
path quickly enough).

A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new value
chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to nest over 2048
times on the read path without causing an issue. Quite possibly it
would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a little further, assuming
that allowing for significantly less nesting would suffice.

However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more nesting
levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible currently only for
64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened to 64 bits.
