rwsem: let RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS represent any number of waiting threads

Previously each waiting thread added a bias of RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS.  With
this change, the bias is added only once to indicate that the wait list is
non-empty.

This has a few nice properties which will be used in following changes:
- when the spinlock is held and the waiter list is known to be non-empty,
  count < RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS  <=>  there is an active writer on that sem
- count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS  <=>  there are waiting threads and no
                                     active readers/writers on that sem
