874f670e60 sched: Clean up the might_sleep() underscore zoo
__might_sleep() vs. ___might_sleep() is hard to distinguish. Aside of that
the three underscore variant is exposed to provide a checkpoint for
rescheduling points which are distinct from blocking points.

They are semantically a preemption point which means that scheduling is
state preserving. A real blocking operation, e.g. mutex_lock(), wait*(),
which cannot preserve a task state which is not equal to RUNNING.

While technically blocking on a "sleeping" spinlock in RT enabled kernels
falls into the voluntary scheduling category because it has to wait until
the contended spin/rw lock becomes available, the RT lock substitution code
can semantically be mapped to a voluntary preemption because the RT lock
substitution code and the scheduler are providing mechanisms to preserve
the task state and to take regular non-lock related wakeups into account.

Rename ___might_sleep() to __might_resched() to make the distinction of
these functions clear.

31552385f8 locking/spinlock/rt: Prepare for RT local_lock
Add the static and runtime initializer mechanics to support the RT variant
of local_lock, which requires the lock type in the lockdep map to be set
to LD_LOCK_PERCPU.

8282947f67 locking/rwlock: Provide RT variant
Similar to rw_semaphores, on RT the rwlock substitution is not writer fair,
because it's not feasible to have a writer inherit its priority to
multiple readers. Readers blocked on a writer follow the normal rules of
priority inheritance. Like RT spinlocks, RT rwlocks are state preserving
across the slow lock operations (contended case).
