Subject[50/91] sparc64: Fix rwsem constant bug leading to hangs.
2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[ Upstream commit ef201bebe5afc91a2b99b45dacc8c6dd88ca9e58 ]

As noticed by Linus, it is critical that some of the
rwsem constants be signed. Yet, hex constants are
unsigned unless explicitly casted or negated.

The most critical one is RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS.

This bug was exacerbated by commit
424acaaeb3a3932d64a9b4bd59df6cf72c22d8f3 ("rwsem: wake queued readers
when writer blocks on active read lock")
