Subject: [PATCH-tip 16/22] locking/rwsem: Remove redundant computation of writer lock word

On 64-bit architectures, each rwsem writer will have its unique lock
word for acquiring the lock. Right now, the writer code recomputes the
lock word every time it tries to acquire the lock. This is a waste of
time. The lock word is now cached and reused when it is needed.

On 32-bit architectures, the extra constant argument to
rwsem_try_write_lock() and rwsem_try_write_lock_unqueued() should be
optimized out by the compiler.
