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"
