Commit 1ea4b47350 ("locking/rwsem: Remove the list_head from struct
rw_semaphore") introduced a logic error in rwsem_del_waiter().
The root cause of this issue is an inconsistency in the return values of
__rwsem_del_waiter() and rwsem_del_waiter(). Specifically,
__rwsem_del_waiter() returns true when the wait list becomes empty,
whereas rwsem_del_waiter() is supposed to return true if the wait list
is NOT empty.
This caused a null pointer dereference in rwsem_mark_wake() because it
was being called when sem->first_waiter was NULL.
Fixes: 1ea4b47350 ("locking/rwsem: Remove the list_head from struct rw_semaphore")
