 * serialize with the preempt-disabled section below.
 *
 * The nontrivial part is that we should guarantee acquire/release semantics
 * in case when
 *
 *	R_W: down_write() comes after up_read(), the writer should see all
 *	     changes done by the reader
 * or
 *	W_R: down_read() comes after up_write(), the reader should see all
 *	     changes done by the writer
 *
 * If this helper fails the callers rely on the normal rw_semaphore and
 * atomic_dec_and_test(), so in this case we have the necessary barriers.
 *
 * But if it succeeds we do not have any barriers, atomic_read(write_ctr) or
 * __this_cpu_add() below can be reordered with any LOAD/STORE done by the
 * reader inside the critical section. See the comments in down_write and
 * up_write below.
