[PATCH 1/7] locking/rwsem: don't resched at the end of optimistic spinning

[Waiman Long]

For a fully preemptive kernel, a call to preempt_enable() could
potentially trigger a task rescheduling event. In the case of rwsem
optimistic spinning, the task has either gotten the lock or is going
to sleep soon. So there is no point to do rescheduling here.
