Subject: [PATCH v5 6/6] locking/rwsem: Update handoff lock events tracking

With the new direct rwsem lock handoff, the corresponding handoff lock
events are updated to also track the number of secondary lock handoffs
in rwsem_down_read_slowpath() to see how prevalent those handoff
events are. The number of primary lock handoffs in the unlock paths is
(rwsem_handoff_read + rwsem_handoff_write - rwsem_handoff_rslow).

After running a 96-thread rwsem microbenchmark with equal number
of readers and writers on a 2-socket 96-thread system for 40s, the
following handoff stats were obtained:

  rwsem_handoff_read=189
  rwsem_handoff_rslow=1
  rwsem_handoff_write=6678
  rwsem_handoff_wspin=6681

The number of primary handoffs was 6866, whereas there was only one
secondary handoff for this test run.
