locking/rwsem: Clarify usage of owner's nonspinaable bit
Bit 1 of sem->owner (RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED) is used to designate an anonymous owner - readers or an anonymous writer. The setting of this anonymous bit is used as an indicator that optimistic spinning cannot be done on this rwsem. With the upcoming reader optimistic spinning patches, a reader-owned rwsem can be spinned on for a limit period of time. We still need this bit to indicate a rwsem is nonspinnable, but not setting this bit loses its meaning that the owner is known. So rename the bit to RWSEM_NONSPINNABLE to clarify its meaning. This patch also fixes a DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON() bug in __up_write().
