btrfs: Implement DREW lock
A (D)ouble (R)eader (W)riter (E)xclustion lock is a locking primitive that allows to have multiple readers or multiple writers but not multiple readers and writers holding it concurrently. The code is factored out from the existing open-coded locking scheme used to exclude pending snapshots from nocow writers and vice-versa. Current implementation actually favors Readers (that is snapshot creaters) to writers (nocow writers of the filesystem). The API provides lock/unlock/trylock for reads and writes. Formal specification for TLA+ provided by Valentin Schneider is at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/2dcaf81c-f0d3-409e-cb29-733d8b3b4cc9@arm.com/Signed-off-by: NNikolay Borisov <nborisov@suse.com> Reviewed-by: NDavid Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
