Nathan Zimmer 4a8c7bb59a mm/mempolicy.c: convert the shared_policy lock to a rwlock
When running the SPECint_rate gcc on some very large boxes it was
noticed that the system was spending lots of time in
mpol_shared_policy_lookup().  The gamess benchmark can also show it and
is what I mostly used to chase down the issue since the setup for that I
found to be easier.

To be clear the binaries were on tmpfs because of disk I/O requirements.
We then used text replication to avoid icache misses and having all the
copies banging on the memory where the instruction code resides.  This
results in us hitting a bottleneck in mpol_shared_policy_lookup() since
lookup is serialised by the shared_policy lock.

I have only reproduced this on very large (3k+ cores) boxes.  The
problem starts showing up at just a few hundred ranks getting worse
until it threatens to livelock once it gets large enough.  For example
on the gamess benchmark at 128 ranks this area consumes only ~1% of
time, at 512 ranks it consumes nearly 13%, and at 2k ranks it is over
90%.

To alleviate the contention in this area I converted the spinlock to an
rwlock.  This allows a large number of lookups to happen simultaneously.
The results were quite good reducing this consumtion at max ranks to
around 2%.

* Describe a memory policy.
*
* A mempolicy can be either associated with a process or with a VMA.
* For VMA related allocations the VMA policy is preferred, otherwise
* the process policy is used. Interrupts ignore the memory policy
* of the current process.
*
* Locking policy for interlave:
* In process context there is no locking because only the process accesses
* its own state. All vma manipulation is somewhat protected by a down_read on
* mmap_sem.
*
* Freeing policy:
* Mempolicy objects are reference counted. A mempolicy will be freed when
* mpol_put() decrements the reference count to zero.
*
* Duplicating policy objects:
* mpol_dup() allocates a new mempolicy and copies the specified mempolicy
* to the new storage. The reference count of the new object is initialized
* to 1, representing the caller of mpol_dup().
