Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] virthread: Introduce virRWLockInitPreferWriter

We already have virRWLockInit. But this uses pthread defaults which prefer reader to initialize the RW lock. This may lead to writer starvation. Therefore we need to have the counterpart that prefers writers. Now, according to the pthread_rwlockattr_setkind_np() man page setting PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NP attribute is no-op. Therefore we need to use PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP attribute. So much for good enum value names.
