Current rw_tryupgrade does rw_exit and then rw_tryenter(RW_RWITER), and then
does rw_enter(RW_READER) if it fails. This violate the assumption that
rw_tryupgrade should be atomic and could cause extra contention or even lock
inversion.
This patch we implement a proper rw_tryupgrade. For rwsem-spinlock, we take
the spinlock to check rwsem->count and rwsem->wait_list. For normal rwsem, we
use cmpxchg on rwsem->count to change the value from single reader to single
writer.
