Subject: locking/rwsem: Remove RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc1
Git-commit: bcba67cd806800fa8e973ac49dbc7d2d8fb3e55e
References: bsc#1162702
Remove the now unused RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN hack. This hack breaks
PREEMPT_RT and getting rid of it was the entire motivation for
re-writing the percpu rwsem.
The biggest problem is that it is fundamentally incompatible with any
form of Priority Inheritance, any exclusively held lock must have a
distinct owner.
