locking/rwsem: Enable lock event counting

Browse Source 
Add lock event counting calls so that we can track the number of lock
events happening in the rwsem code.

With CONFIG_LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS on and booting a 4-socket 112-thread x86-64
system, the rwsem counts after system bootup were as follows:

  rwsem_opt_fail=261
  rwsem_opt_wlock=50636
  rwsem_rlock=445
  rwsem_rlock_fail=0
  rwsem_rlock_fast=22
  rwsem_rtrylock=810144
  rwsem_sleep_reader=441
  rwsem_sleep_writer=310
  rwsem_wake_reader=355
  rwsem_wake_writer=2335
  rwsem_wlock=261
  rwsem_wlock_fail=0
  rwsem_wtrylock=20583

It can be seen that most of the lock acquisitions in the slowpath were
write-locks in the optimistic spinning code path with no sleeping at
all. For this system, over 97% of the locks are acquired via optimistic
spinning. It illustrates the importance of optimistic spinning in
improving the performance of rwsem.
