locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable() for CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK=y

commit 17fcbd590d0c3e35bd9646e2215f86586378bc42 upstream.

We hang if SIGKILL has been sent, but the task is stuck in down_read()
(after do_exit()), even though no task is doing down_write() on the
rwsem in question:

  INFO: task libupnp:21868 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  libupnp         D    0 21868      1 0x08100008
  ...
  Call Trace:
  __schedule()
  schedule()
  __down_read()
  do_exit()
  do_group_exit()
  __wake_up_parent()

This bug has already been fixed for CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y in
the following commit:

 04cafed7fc19 ("locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable()")

... however, this bug also exists for CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK=y.
