Nah, you're supposed to write that like:
for (;;) {
val = atomic_long_cond_read_relaxed(&sem->count, VAL < 0);
if (atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_acquire(&sem->count, &val,
val + RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS))
break;
}

Anyway, yuck, you're keeping all that BIAS nonsense :/ I was so hoping
for a rwsem implementation without that impenetrable crap.
