Subjectx86: clean up rwsem type system

The fast version of the rwsems (the code that uses xadd) has
traditionally only worked on x86-32, and as a result it mixes different
kinds of types wildly - they just all happen to be 32-bit. We have
"long", we have "__s32", and we have "int".

To make it work on x86-64, the types suddenly matter a lot more. It can
be either a 32-bit or 64-bit signed type, and both work (with the caveat
that a 32-bit counter will only have 15 bits of effective write
counters, so it's limited to 32767 users). But whatever type you
choose, it needs to be used consistently.

This makes a new 'rwsem_counter_t', that is a 32-bit signed type. For a
64-bit type, you'd need to also update the BIAS values.

Ok, this is the final cleanup. With this, the <asm/rwsem.h> header file
should be usable on x86-64 too. It needs some more support functions (the
actual rwsem asm->C trampoline functions that save/restore all the
clobbered registers etc), but that's a separate thing.

Similarly, this will need further changes for actual 64-bit counters. The
32767-thread limit is fine on x86-32 (we're thread-limited by lowmem
anyway), but likely not on x86-64.

Comments?
