sched/wait: Add swq_has_sleeper()

Which is the equivalent of what we have in regular waitqueues.
I'm not crazy about the name, but this also helps us get both
apis closer -- which iirc comes originally from the -net folks.

We also duplicate the comments for the lockless swait_active(),
from wait.h. Future users will make use of this interface.

+ *
+ * NOTE: this function is lockless and requires care, incorrect usage _will_
+ * lead to sporadic and non-obvious failure.
+ *
+ * NOTE2: this function has the same above implications as regular waitqueues.
+ *
+ * Use either while holding swait_queue_head::lock or when used for wakeups
+ * with an extra smp_mb() like:
+ *
+ *      CPU0 - waker                    CPU1 - waiter
+ *
+ *                                      for (;;) {
+ *      @cond = true;                     prepare_to_swait(&wq_head, &wait, state);
+ *      smp_mb();                         // smp_mb() from set_current_state()
+ *      if (swait_active(wq_head))        if (@cond)

+ *                                      finish_swait(&wq_head, &wait);
+ *
+ * Because without the explicit smp_mb() it's possible for the
+ * swait_active() load to get hoisted over the @cond store such that we'll
+ * observe an empty wait list while the waiter might not observe @cond.
+ * This, in turn, can trigger missing wakeups.
+ *
+ * Also note that this 'optimization' trades a spin_lock() for an smp_mb(),
+ * which (when the lock is uncontended) are of roughly equal cost.
