modify __down_write[_nested] and __down_write_trylock to grab the write
lock whenever the active count is 0, even if there are queued waiters
(they must be writers pending wakeup, since the active count is 0).
Note that this is an optimization only; architectures without this
optimization will still work fine:
- __down_write() would take the slow path which would take the wait_lock
and then try stealing the lock (as in the spinlocked rwsem implementation)
- __down_write_trylock() would fail, but callers must be ready to deal
with that - since there are some writers pending wakeup, they could
have raced with us and obtained the lock before we steal it.
