*whee*..
I made one little change in the logic; I moved the waitcount increment
to before the __put_online_cpus() call, such that the writer will have
to wait for us to wake up before trying again -- not for us to actually
have acquired the read lock, for that we'd need to mess up
__get_online_cpus() a bit more.
Complete patch below.

Subject: hotplug: Optimize {get,put}_online_cpus()
From: Peter Zijlstra <pet...@infradead.org>
Date: Tue Sep 17 16:17:11 CEST 2013
The current implementation of get_online_cpus() is global of nature
and thus not suited for any kind of common usage.
Re-implement the current recursive r/w cpu hotplug lock such that the
read side locks are as light as possible.
The current cpu hotplug lock is entirely reader biased; but since
readers are expensive there aren't a lot of them about and writer
starvation isn't a particular problem.
However by making the reader side more usable there is a fair chance
it will get used more and thus the starvation issue becomes a real
possibility.
Therefore this new implementation is fair, alternating readers and
writers; this however requires per-task state to allow the reader
recursion.
Many comments are contributed by Paul McKenney, and many previous
attempts were shown to be inadequate by both Paul and Oleg; many
thanks to them for persisting to poke holes in my attempts.
