sparc64: Fix rwsem constant bug leading to hangs.
[ 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") Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
