x86: clean up rwsem type system

commit 5d0b7235d83eefdafda300656e97d368afcafc9a upstream.

The fast version of the rwsems (the code that uses xadd) has
traditionally only worked on x86-32, and as a result it mixes different
kinds of types wildly - they just all happen to be 32-bit.  We have
"long", we have "__s32", and we have "int".

To make it work on x86-64, the types suddenly matter a lot more.  It can
be either a 32-bit or 64-bit signed type, and both work (with the caveat
that a 32-bit counter will only have 15 bits of effective write
counters, so it's limited to 32767 users).  But whatever type you
choose, it needs to be used consistently.

This makes a new 'rwsem_counter_t', that is a 32-bit signed type.  For a
64-bit type, you'd need to also update the BIAS values.
