rwsem: do not block readers at head of queue if other readers are active
This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it
needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem
has active readers and no queued waiters.
In this situation the reader can just in parallel with the existing active
readers; it does not need to block until the active readers complete.
Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.
