Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] sched: Introduce rcuwait

Changes from v1:
 - Renamed trywake to wake_up.
 - Added Oleg's review tags.

Hi,

Here's an updated version of the pcpu rwsem writer wait/wake changes
with the abstractions wanted by Oleg. Patch 1 adds rcuwait (for a lack
of better name), and patch 2 trivially makes use of it. 

Has survived torture testing, which is actually very handy in this case
particularly dealing with equal amount of reader and writer threads.

Applies on top of Linus' tree (4.10-rc3).

Thanks.
