rwsem: let RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS represent any number of waiting threads
Previously each waiting thread added a bias of RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. With
this change, the bias is added only once to indicate that the wait list is
non-empty.
This has a few nice properties which will be used in following changes:
- when the spinlock is held and the waiter list is known to be non-empty,
count < RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS <=> there is an active writer on that sem
- count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS <=> there are waiting threads and no
active readers/writers on that sem
