Fix missing wake-ups in pthread_rwlock_rdlock.
This adds wake-ups that would be missing if assuming that for a
non-writer-preferring rwlock, if one thread has acquired a rdlock and
does not release it, another thread will eventually acquire a rdlock too
despite concurrent write lock acquisition attempts.  BZ 14958 is about
supporting this assumption.  Strictly speaking, this isn't a valid
test case, but nonetheless worth supporting (see comment 7 of BZ 14958).
