In an analysis of a recent vmcore, a reader-owned rwsem was found with 385 readers but no writer in the wait queue. That is kind of unusual but it may be caused by some race conditions that we have not fully understood yet. In such a case, all the readers in the wait queue should join the other reader-owners and acquire the read lock. In rwsem_down_write_slowpath(), an incoming writer will try to wake up the front readers under such circumstance. That is not the case for rwsem_down_read_slowpath(), add a new helper function rwsem_cond_wake_waiter() to do wakeup and use it in both reader and writer slowpaths to have a consistent and correct behavior.
