[PATCH v5 12/13] xen/rwlock: raise the number of possible cpus

[Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>]

The rwlock handling is limiting the number of cpus to 4095 today. The
main reason is the use of the atomic_t data type for the main lock
handling, which needs 2 bits for the locking state (writer waiting or
write locked), 12 bits for the id of a possible writer, and a 12 bit
counter for readers. The limit isn't 4096 due to an off by one sanity
check.

The atomic_t data type is 32 bits wide, so in theory 15 bits for the
writer's cpu id and 15 bits for the reader count seem to be fine, but
via read_trylock() more readers than cpus are possible.

This means that it is possible to raise the number of cpus to 16384
without changing the rwlock_t data structure. In order to avoid the
reader count wrapping to zero, don't let read_trylock() succeed in case
the highest bit of the reader's count is set already. This leaves enough
headroom for non-recursive readers to enter without risking a wrap.

While at it calculate _QW_CPUMASK and _QR_SHIFT from _QW_SHIFT and
add a sanity check for not overflowing the atomic_t data type.
