Unfortunately it didn't apply cleanly to the 4.4 based tree I'm
working with, so I had to manually apply the entirety of the
percpu-rwsem.c changes myself. Hopefully I didn't screw it up.

So running with this, I'm still seeing some pretty large delays. 80ms
peak, with lots of >20ms values as well.
So it doesn't seem to have the positive effect that Paul's change provided.
