00eb4bab69 locking/rwsem: Use acquire/release semantics
As of 654672d4ba (locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}()
variants of some atomic operations) and 6d79ef2d30 (locking, asm-generic:
Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for 'atomic_long_t'), weakly
ordered archs can benefit from more relaxed use of barriers when locking
and unlocking, instead of regular full barrier semantics. While currently
only arm64 supports such optimizations, updating corresponding locking
primitives serves for other archs to immediately benefit as well, once the
necessary machinery is implemented of course.

e172800e5d asm-generic: rwsem: de-PPCify rwsem.h
asm-generic/rwsem.h used to live under arch/powerpc. During its
liberation to common code, a few references to its former home where
preserved, in particular the definition of RWSEM_ACTIVE_MASK is
predicated on CONFIG_PPC64.

This patch updates the ifdefs and comments to architecturally neutral
versions.
