This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the
arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting
rwlock is a fair lock.

It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the
reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4
bytes for the arch_spinlock_t.

Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize
queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).

Performance as measured by Davidlohr Bueso (rwlock_t -> qrwlock_t):

 +--------------+-------------+---------------+
 |   Workload   |   #users    |     delta     |
 +--------------+-------------+---------------+
 | alltests     | > 1400      | -4.83%        |
 | custom       | 0-100,> 100 | +1.43%,-1.57% |
 | high_systime | > 1000      | -2.61         |
 | shared       | all         | +0.32         |
 +--------------+-------------+---------------+
