In wakeup_next_waiter(), we take the pi_lock, and then find out whether
we have another waiter to add to the pending owner.  We can reduce
contention on the pi_lock for the pending owner if we first obtain the
pointer to the next waiter outside of the pi_lock.

It is redundant to wake the grantee task if it is already running, and
the call to wake_up_process is relatively expensive.  If we can safely
skip it we can measurably improve the performance of the adaptive-locks.

Credit goes to Peter Morreale for the general idea.

After talking with Gregory Haskins about how they implemented his
version of adaptive spinlocks and before I actually looked at their
code, I was thinking about it while lying in bed.

I always thought that adaptive spinlocks were to spin for a short
period of time based off of some heuristic and then sleep. This idea
is totally bogus. No heuristic can account for a bunch of different
activities. But Gregory mentioned something to me that made a hell of a lot
of sense. And that is to only spin while the owner is running.

If the owner is running, then it would seem that it would be quicker to
spin then to take the scheduling hit. While lying awake in bed, it dawned
on me that we could simply spin in the fast lock and never touch the
"has waiters" flag, which would keep the owner from going into the
slow path. Also, the task itself is preemptible while spinning so this
would not affect latencies.

The only trick was to not have the owner get freed between the time
you saw the owner and the time you check its run queue. This was
easily solved by simply grabing the RCU read lock because freeing
of a task must happen after a grace period.

I first tried to stay only in the fast path. This works fine until you want
to guarantee that the highest prio task gets the lock next. I tried all
sorts of hackeries and found that there was too many cases where we can
miss. I finally concurred with Gregory, and decided that going into the
slow path was the way to go.

I then started looking into what the guys over at Novell did. The had the
basic idea correct, but went way overboard in the implementation, making
it far more complex than it needed to be. I rewrote their work using the
ideas from my original patch, and simplified it quite a bit.

This is the patch that they wanted to do ;-)

Special thanks goes out to Gregory Haskins, Sven Dietrich and
Peter Morreale, for proving that adaptive spin locks certainly *can*
make a difference.

The current logic makes rather coarse adjustments to current->state since
it is planning on sleeping anyway.  We want to eventually move to an
adaptive (e.g. optional sleep) algorithm, so we tighten the scope of the
adjustments to bracket the schedule().  This should yield correct behavior
with or without the adaptive features that are added later in the series.
We add it here as a separate patch for greater review clarity on smaller
changes.

The current logic only allows lock stealing to occur if the current task
is of higher priority than the pending owner. We can gain signficant
throughput improvements (200%+) by allowing the lock-stealing code to
include tasks of equal priority.  The theory is that the system will make
faster progress by allowing the task already on the CPU to take the lock
rather than waiting for the system to wake-up a different task.

This does add a degree of unfairness, yes.  But also note that the users
of these locks under non -rt environments have already been using unfair
raw spinlocks anyway so the tradeoff is probably worth it.

The way I like to think of this is that higher priority tasks should
clearly preempt, and lower priority tasks should clearly block.  However,
if tasks have an identical priority value, then we can think of the
scheduler decisions as the tie-breaking parameter. (e.g. tasks that the
scheduler picked to run first have a logically higher priority amoung tasks
of the same prio).  This helps to keep the system "primed" with tasks doing
useful work, and the end result is higher throughput.

Thanks to Steven Rostedt for pointing out that RT tasks should be excluded
to prevent the introduction of an unnatural unbounded latency.

On ARM there is a problem where the interrupt handler stalls when they
are coming faster than the kernel can handle. The problem seems to
occur on RT primarily, but the problem is also valid for non-RT
kernels.

The problem is twofold:
* the handle_simple_irq() mechanism is used for GPIO, but because the GPIO
interrupt source is actually an edge triggered interrupt source, the
handle_edge_irq() mechanism must be used. While using the simple_irq()
mechanisms edges can be missed for either mainline as RT kernels.
The simple_irq mechanism is *never* meant to be used for these types
of interrupts. See the thread at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/26/73
* The RT kernels has a problem that the interrupt get masked forever while
the interrupt thread is running and a new interrupt arrives.
In the interrupt threads there is masking done in the handle_simple_irq()
path, while a simple_irq typically cannot be masked.

This patch only solves the first bullet, which is enough for AT91, by
moving the GPIO interrupt handler towards the handle_edge_irq().
To solve the problem in the simple_irq() path a seperate fix has to be done,
but as it is no longer used by AT91, that fix will not affect AT91.

Tested on:
* AT91rm9200-ek, and proprietary board
* AT91SAM9261-ek. (This patches also solves the problem that the DM9000 does
                   not work on this board while using PREEMPT-RT)
