The function "swait_head_has_waiters()" was internalized into
wait-simple.c but it parallels the waitqueue_active of normal
waitqueue support. Given that there are over 150 waitqueue_active
users in drivers/ fs/ kernel/ and the like, lets make it globally
visible, and rename it to parallel the waitqueue_active accordingly.
We'll need to do this if we expect to expand its usage beyond RT.

wait_queue is a swiss army knife and in most of the cases the
complexity is not needed. For RT waitqueues are a constant source of
trouble as we can't convert the head lock to a raw spinlock due to
fancy and long lasting callbacks.
Provide a slim version, which allows RT to replace wait queues. This
should go mainline as well, as it lowers memory consumption and
runtime overhead.

smp_mb() added by Steven Rostedt to fix a race condition with swait
wakeups vs adding items to the list.
