For writers, the out_nolock path will always attempt to wake up waiters. This may not be really necessary if the waiter to be removed is not the first one. For readers, no attempt to wake up waiter is being made. However, if the HANDOFF bit is set and the reader to be removed is the first waiter, the waiter behind it will inherit the HANDOFF bit and for a write lock waiter waking it up will allow it to spin on the lock to acquire it faster. So it can be beneficial to do a wakeup in this case. Add a new rwsem_del_wake_waiter() helper function to do that consistently for both reader and writer out_nolock paths.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
