Hmm, why not? I think it would be nice to have rwlock.h self-contained
to the degree that users of rwlock_t but not spinlock_t only need to
include the rwlock header and vice versa.

Obviously, we'd have to clean up all the ~200 users of rwlock_t before
we're able to remove rwlock.h from spinlock.h, but the other direction
could be done easily.
