Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two regression fixes for reader writer semaphores:
- Plug a race in the lock handoff which is caused by inconsistency of
the reader and writer path and can lead to corruption of the
underlying counter.
- down_read_trylock() is suboptimal when the lock is contended and
multiple readers trylock concurrently. That's due to the initial
value being read non-atomically which results in at least two
compare exchange loops. Making the initial readout atomic reduces
this significantly. Whith 40 readers by 11% in a benchmark which
enforces contention on mmap_sem"
