sched: Introduce preempt_count accessor functions

Replace the single preempt_count() 'function' that's an lvalue with
two proper functions:

 preempt_count() - returns the preempt_count value as rvalue
 preempt_count_set() - Allows setting the preempt-count value

Also provide preempt_count_ptr() as a convenience wrapper to implement
all modifying operations.

rcu: Use smp_hotplug_thread facility for RCUs per-CPU kthread

Bring RCU into the new-age CPU-hotplug fold by modifying RCU's per-CPU
kthread code to use the new smp_hotplug_thread facility.

[ tglx: Adapted it to use callbacks and to the simplified rcu yield ]

asm-generic: rwsem: ensure sem->cnt is only accessed via atomic_long_*

The asm-generic rwsem implementation directly acceses sem->cnt when
performing a __down_read_trylock operation. Whilst this is probably safe
on all architectures, we should stick to the atomic_long_* API and use
atomic_long_read instead.

ARM: rwsem: use asm-generic rwsem implementation

asm-generic offers an atomic-add based rwsem implementation, which
can avoid the need for heavier, spinlock-based synchronisation on the
fast path.

This patch makes use of the optimised implementation for ARM CPUs.

asm-generic: rwsem: de-PPCify rwsem.h

asm-generic/rwsem.h used to live under arch/powerpc. During its
liberation to common code, a few references to its former home where
preserved, in particular the definition of RWSEM_ACTIVE_MASK is
predicated on CONFIG_PPC64.

This patch updates the ifdefs and comments to architecturally neutral
versions.
