The asm-generic rwsem implementation directly acceses sem->cnt when
performing a __down_read_trylock operation. Whilst this is probably safe
on all architectures, we should stick to the atomic_long_* API and use
atomic_long_read instead.

That's pretty ugly, how about having infinite look and just do the tmp
assign separately from the conditional?
It also looks like a cpu_relax() could help here between iterations.
This is the read trylock so no cpu_relax().
Other than that:

Actually, we should make that cmpxchg an atomic_long_cmpxchg, so the extra
diff ends up looking like below. It's ugly adding a cpu_relax(), since you
only want it when the cmpxchg fails (and we don't have such logic in the
asm-generic __atomic_add_unless, for example).

The shared rwsem failure paths (kernel/locking/rwsem_xadd.c) peek at
sem->count as long type, so this isn't really necessary.
