The Btrfs tree trylock function is poorly named. It always takes the spinlock and backs off if the blocking lock is held. This can lead to surprising lockups because people expect it to really be a trylock. This commit makes it a pure trylock, both for the spinlock and the blocking lock. It also reworks the nested lock handling slightly to avoid taking the read lock while a spinning write lock might be held. Signed-off-by:
