Al Viro 7a39f52202 [PATCH] sparc32 rwlock fix
read_trylock() is broken on sparc32 (doesn't build and didn't work
right, actually).  Proposed fix:

 - make "writer holds lock" distinguishable from "reader tries to grab
   lock"

 - have __raw_read_trylock() try to acquire the mutex (in LSB of lock),
   terminating spin if we see that there's writer holding it.  Then do
   the rest as we do in read_lock().

Thanks to Ingo for discussion...
