rxrpc_call::user_mutex is of type struct mutex, but it's required to start
off locked on an incoming call as it is being set up in softirq context to
prevent sendmsg and recvmsg interfering with it until it is ready.  It is
then unlocked in rxrpc_input_packet() to make the call live.

Unfortunately, commit a0855d24fc22d49cdc25664fb224caee16998683
("locking/mutex: Complain upon mutex API misuse in IRQ contexts") causes
big warnings to be splashed in dmesg for each a new call that comes in from
the server.

It *seems* like it should be okay, since the accept path trylocks the mutex
when no one else can see it and drops the mutex before it leaves softirq
context.

Fix this by switching to using an rw_semaphore instead as that is permitted
to be used in softirq context.

Fixes: 540b1c48c37a ("rxrpc: Fix deadlock between call creation and sendmsg/recvmsg")

This really has the very same problem. It just avoids the WARN. We do PI
boosting for rwsem write side identical to what we do for mutexes.

I would rather we revert David's patch for now and more carefully
consider what to do about this.

To clarify (I only just reliazed David is a bit ambiguous here), take
this patch out for now:

  a0855d24fc22 ("locking/mutex: Complain upon mutex API misuse in IRQ contexts")

The RXRPC code has been there for a while... and like I wrote, both
mutex and rwsem have the exact same issue, the rwsem code just doesn't
have a WARN on it.
