#1594382 — [PATCH] locking/rwsem: Make rwsem_is_contended() track status of OSQ

It was found that the current rwsem_is_contended() function did not
look at the status of the OSQ and hence would miss waiters on OSQ. So
that function is now modified to look at the OSQ as well.

Ideally I'd kill the entire function.

	if (need_resched() ||
	    rwsem_is_contended(&fs_info->commit_root_sem)) {
		if (wakeup)
			caching_ctl->progress = last;
		btrfs_release_path(path);
		up_read(&fs_info->commit_root_sem);
		mutex_unlock(&caching_ctl->mutex);
		cond_resched();
		mutex_lock(&caching_ctl->mutex);
		down_read(&fs_info->commit_root_sem);
		goto next;
	}

is the only user of it in the entire tree and it makes no bloody sense
what so ever. rwsem is a preemptible lock after all.

That works for me too. I do realize that there is only one user in the
kernel, but I am hesitant to change it as I am not familiar with that
piece of code.
