Linux 5.2 compat: rw_tryupgrade()
Commit torvalds/linux@46ad0840b has removed the architecture specific
rwsem source and headers leaving only the generic version. As part
of this change the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS and RWSEM_ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS
macros were moved to the private kernel/locking/rwsem.h header.
This results in a build failure because these macros were required
to implement the rw_tryupgrade() compatibility function.
In practice, this isn't a major problem because there are only a
few consumers of rw_tryupgrade() and because consumers of rw_tryupgrade
should be written to retry using rw_enter(RW_WRITER).
After auditing all of the callers only dmu_zfetch() was determined
not to perform a retry. It has been updated in this commit to
resolve this issue.
That said, the rw_tryupgrade() functionality should be considered
for possible removal in a future release due to the difficultly
in supporting the interface.
