Subject: [PATCH 0/3, resend] x86: rw lock and semaphore consolidation

This is to unify 32- and 64-bit assembly implementations and to eliminate
a (mostly theoretical) scalability problem in the rwlock logic.

1: unify rwlock assembly implementation
2: unify rwsem assembly implementation
3: fix write lock scalability 64-bit issue
