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.

* 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)
* wake_up(wq_head); break;
* schedule();
* }
* 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.
