Subject: [PATCH] locking/qrwlock: fix write unlock issue in big endian

strcut __qrwlock has different layout in big endian machine. we need set
the __qrwlock->wmode to NULL, and the address is not &lock->cnts in big
endian machine.

Do as what read unlock does. we are lucky that the __qrwlock->wmode's
val is _QW_LOCKED.
