Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] locking/rwsem: Use the force

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

Now that the writer adjustment is done from the wakeup side and
HANDOFF guarantees spinning/stealing is disabled, use the combined
guarantee it ignore spurious READER_BIAS and directly claim the lock.
