The first patch contains an optimization for acquiring the rwsem write lock
in the slowpath.

This rest of the series converts the rwsem count variable to an atomic_long_t
since it is used it as an atomic variable. This allows us to also remove
the rwsem_atomic_{add,update} abstraction and reduce 100+ lines of code.
