[PATCH 3/4] locking/rwbase: Fix rwbase_write_lock() vs __rwbase_read_lock()

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Sep 09 2021 - 07:04:14 EST


Boqun noticed that the write-trylock sequence of load+set is broken in
rwbase_write_lock()'s wait-loop since they're not both under the same
wait_lock instance.

Restructure the code to make this more obvious and correct.
