Subject: [RFC][PATCH 3/7] locking,x86: Remove x86 rwsem add and rwsem update

The rwsem count has been converted to an atomic variable and the rwsem
code now directly uses atomic_long_add() and atomic_long_add_return(),
so we can remove the x86 implementation of rwsem_atomic_add() and
rwsem_atomic_update().
