Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] locking/rwsem: Change waiter->hanodff_set to a handoff_state enum

Change the boolean waiter->handoff_set to an enum type so that we can
have more states in some later patches. Also use READ_ONCE() outside
wait_lock critical sections for read and WRITE_ONCE() inside wait_lock
critical sections for write for proper synchronization. There is no
functional change.
