Subject: [PATCH 2/2] locking/rwsem: add preempt_disable/enable for spin region

The rwsem_optimistic_spin() invokes the rwsem_spin_on_owner() with
preemption disabled, but rwsem_down_write_slowpath() doesn't. Because
the spin region should not be preempted, add preempt_disable/enable()
in rwsem_spin_on_owner().
