locking/rwsem: Rename 'activity' to 'count'
There are two definitions of struct rw_semaphore, one in linux/rwsem.h and one in linux/rwsem-spinlock.h. For some reason they have different names for the initial field. This makes it impossible to use C99 named initialization for __RWSEM_INITIALIZER() -- or we have to duplicate that entire thing along with the structure definitions. The simpler patch is renaming the rwsem-spinlock variant to match the regular rwsem. This allows us to switch to C99 named initialization.
