locking/semaphore: Use wake_q to wake up processes outside lock critical section
A circular lock dependency splat has been seen involving down_trylock():
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.12.0-41.el10.s390x+debug
------------------------------------------------------
dd/32479 is trying to acquire lock:
0015a20accd0d4f8 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: down_trylock+0x26/0x90
but task is already holding lock:
000000017e461698 (&zone->lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: rmqueue_bulk+0xac/0x8f0
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> CachyOS#4 (&zone->lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
-> CachyOS#3 (hrtimer_bases.lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
-> CachyOS#2 (&rq->__lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
-> CachyOS#1 (&p->pi_lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
-> #0 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
The console_sem -> pi_lock dependency is due to calling try_to_wake_up()
while holding the console_sem raw_spinlock. This dependency can be broken
by using wake_q to do the wakeup instead of calling try_to_wake_up()
under the console_sem lock. This will also make the semaphore's
raw_spinlock become a terminal lock without taking any further locks
underneath it.
The hrtimer_bases.lock is a raw_spinlock while zone->lock is a
spinlock. The hrtimer_bases.lock -> zone->lock dependency happens via
the debug_objects_fill_pool() helper function in the debugobjects code.

Normally a raw_spinlock to spinlock dependency is not legitimate
and will be warned if CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING is enabled,
but debug_objects_fill_pool() is an exception as it explicitly
allows this dependency for non-PREEMPT_RT kernel without causing
PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING lockdep splat. As a result, this dependency is
legitimate and not a bug.
Anyway, semaphore is the only locking primitive left that is still
using try_to_wake_up() to do wakeup inside critical section, all the
other locking primitives had been migrated to use wake_q to do wakeup
outside of the critical section. It is also possible that there are
other circular locking dependencies involving printk/console_sem or
other existing/new semaphores lurking somewhere which may show up in
the future. Let just do the migration now to wake_q to avoid headache
like this.
