The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.
This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but
only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the
arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting
rwlock is a fair lock.
It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the
reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4
bytes for the arch_spinlock_t.
Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize
queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).
Performance as measured by Davidlohr Bueso (rwlock_t -> qrwlock_t):
