Fix rwlock stall with PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP (bug 23861)
In the read lock function (__pthread_rwlock_rdlock_full) there was a code path which would fail to reload __readers while waiting for PTHREAD_RWLOCK_RWAITING to change. This failure to reload __readers into a local value meant that various conditionals used the old value of __readers and with only two threads left it could result in an indefinite stall of one of the readers (waiting for PTHREAD_RWLOCK_RWAITING to go to zero, but it never would). (cherry picked from commit f21e8f8c)
