[PATCH v2 1/5] kernel/locking: Use struct qrwlock instead of struct __qrwlock

There's no good reason to keep the internal structure of struct qrwlock
hidden from qrwlock.h, particularly as it's actually needed for unlock
and ends up being abstracted independently behind the __qrwlock_write_byte
function.

Stop pretending we can hide this stuff, and move the __qrwlock definition
into qrwlock, removing the __qrwlock_write_byte nastiness and using the
same struct definition everywhere instead.
