locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable()
The new signal_pending exit path in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() was fingered as breaking his kernel by Tetsuo Handa. Upon inspection it was found that there are two things wrong with it; - it forgets to remove WAITING_BIAS if it leaves the list empty, or - it forgets to wake further waiters that were blocked on the now removed waiter. Especially the first issue causes new lock attempts to block and stall indefinitely, as the code assumes that pending waiters mean there is an owner that will wake when it releases the lock.
