Add lock event counting calls so that we can track the number of lock
events happening in the rwsem code.
With CONFIG_LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS on and booting a 4-socket 112-thread x86-64
system, the rwsem counts after system bootup were as follows:
rwsem_opt_fail=261
rwsem_opt_wlock=50636
rwsem_rlock=445
rwsem_rlock_fail=0
rwsem_rlock_fast=22
rwsem_rtrylock=810144
rwsem_sleep_reader=441
rwsem_sleep_writer=310
rwsem_wake_reader=355
rwsem_wake_writer=2335
rwsem_wlock=261
rwsem_wlock_fail=0
rwsem_wtrylock=20583
It can be seen that most of the lock acquisitions in the slowpath were
write-locks in the optimistic spinning code path with no sleeping at
all. For this system, over 97% of the locks are acquired via optimistic
spinning. It illustrates the importance of optimistic spinning in
improving the performance of rwsem.

The percpu event counts used by qspinlock code can be useful for
other locking code as well. So a new set of lockevent_* counting APIs
is introduced with the lock event names extracted out into the new
lock_events_list.h header file for easier addition in the future.
The existing qstat_inc() calls are replaced by either lockevent_inc() or
lockevent_cond_inc() calls.
The qstat_hop() call is renamed to lockevent_pv_hop(). The "reset_counters"
debugfs file is also renamed to ".reset_counts".
