rwsem: fully separate code paths to wake writers vs readers

This is in preparation for later changes in the series.

In __rwsem_do_wake(), the first queued waiter is checked first in order to
determine whether it's a writer or a reader.  The code paths diverge at
this point.  The code that checks and increments the rwsem active count is
duplicated on both sides - the point is that later changes in the series
will be able to independently modify both sides.
