I haven't been following the discussion for a while, I've read the
resolutions now.

So they removed the contradicting line from pthread_rwlock_wrlock() and
clarified the deadlock conditions.

If I understand the changes right, the write locks can now be
implemented to take precedence before the read locks, the testcase is
correct (actually three testcases pthread_rwlock_unlock_3-1,
pthread_rwlock_rdlock_2-1 and pthread_rwlock_rdlock_2-2) and the ball is
on glibc side. I will write a mail to the glibc ML to discuss it.
