locking/percpu-rwsem: Add down_read_preempt_disable()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Provide a down_read()/up_read() variant that keeps preemption disabled
over the whole thing, when possible.

This avoids a needless preemption point for constructs such as:

	percpu_down_read(&global_rwsem);
	spin_lock(&lock);
	...
	spin_unlock(&lock);
	percpu_up_read(&global_rwsem);

Which perturbs timings. In particular it was found to cure a
performance regression in a follow up patch in fs/locks.c
