sched/wake_q: Reduce reference counting for special users
Some users, specifically futexes and rwsems, required fixes
that allowed the callers to be safe when wakeups occur before
they are expected by wake_up_q(). Such scenarios also play
games and rely on reference counting, and until now were
pivoting on wake_q doing it. With the wake_q_add() call being
moved down, this can no longer be the case. As such we end up
with a a double task refcounting overhead; and these callers
care enough about this (being rather core-ish).
This patch introduces a wake_q_add_safe() call that serves
for callers that have already done refcounting and therefore the
task is 'safe' from wake_q point of view (int that it requires
reference throughout the entire queue/>wakeup cycle). In the one
case it has internal reference counting, in the other case it
consumes the reference counting.
