So I ran this series on a 40-core IB 2 socket with various worklods in
mmtests. Below are some of the interesting ones; full numbers and curves
at https://linux-scalability.org/rwsem-reader-spinner/

All workloads are with increasing number of threads.

-- pagefault timings: pft is an artificial pf benchmark (thus reader stress).
metric is faults/cpu and faults/sec

With the exception of the hicup at 7 threads, things are pretty much in
the noise region for both metrics.

-- git checkout

First metric is total runtime for runs with incremental threads.

           v5.0-rc6    v5.0-rc6
                          dirty
User         218.95      219.07
System       149.29      146.82
Elapsed     1574.10     1427.08

In this case there's a non trivial improvement (11%) in overall elapsed time.

i_mmap)

The 'compute' workload overall takes a small hit.

Overall there is a small hit (in the noise level but consistent throughout
many workloads), except git-checkout which does quite well.
