Documentation/locking/locktypes: Further clarifications and wordsmithing
The documentation of rw_semaphores is wrong as it claims that the non-owner
reader release is not supported by RT. That's just history biased memory
distortion.
Split the 'Owner semantics' section up and add separate sections for
semaphore and rw_semaphore to reflect reality.
Aside of that the following updates are done:
- Add pseudo code to document the spinlock state preserving mechanism on
PREEMPT_RT
- Wordsmith the bitspinlock and lock nesting sections
