Hou Tao ce2b5fe9e7 locking/percpu-rwsem: Use this_cpu_{inc,dec}() for read_count
[ Upstream commit e6b1a44ecc ]

The __this_cpu*() accessors are (in general) IRQ-unsafe which, given
that percpu-rwsem is a blocking primitive, should be just fine.

However, file_end_write() is used from IRQ context and will cause
load-store issues on architectures where the per-cpu accessors are not
natively irq-safe.

Fix it by using the IRQ-safe this_cpu_*() for operations on
read_count. This will generate more expensive code on a number of
platforms, which might cause a performance regression for some of the
other percpu-rwsem users.

If any such is reported, we can consider alternative solutions.
