The main complication from the RT patch set is that the RW semaphore
locks change such that read locks on an rwsem can be taken only by
a single thread.  All other threads are locked out. This single
thread can take a read lock multiple times though. The underlying
implementation changes to a mutex with an additional read_depth
count.

The implementation can be best understood by inspecting the RT
patch.  rwsem_rt.h and rt.c give the best insight into how RT
rwsem works. My implementation for rwsem_tryupgrade is basically
an inversion of rt_downgrade_write found in rt.c. Please see the
comments in the code.

Unfortunately, I have to drop SPLAT rwlock test4 completely as this
test tries to take multiple locks from different threads, which RT
rwsems do not support.  Otherwise SPLAT, zconfig.sh, zpios-sanity.sh
and zfs-tests.sh pass on my Debian-testing VM with the kernel
linux-image-4.8.0-1-rt-amd64.
