A feature of the current rwlock is that if multiple coroutines hold a
reader lock, all must be runnable. The unlock implementation relies on
this, choosing to wake a single coroutine when the final read lock
holder exits the critical section, assuming that it will wake a
coroutine attempting to acquire a write lock.

The downgrade implementation violates this assumption by creating a
read lock owning coroutine that is exclusively runnable - any other
coroutines that are waiting to acquire a read lock are *not* made
runnable when the write lock holder converts its ownership to read
only.

To fix this, keep the queue of waiters explicitly in the CoRwLock
instead of using CoQueue, and store for each whether it is a
potential reader or a writer.  This way, downgrade can look at the
first queued coroutines and wake it if it is a reader, causing
all other readers to be released in turn.
