David Sterba 970e74d961 btrfs: simplify waiting loop in btrfs_tree_lock
Currently, the number of readers and writers is checked and in case
there are any, wait and redo the locks. There's some duplication
before the branches go back to again label, eg. calling wait_event on
blocking_readers twice.

The sequence is transformed

loop:
* wait for readers
* wait for writers
* write_lock
* check readers, unlock and wait for readers, loop
* check writers, unlock and wait for writers, loop

The new sequence is not exactly the same due to the simplification, for
readers it's slightly faster. For the writers, original code does

* wait for writers
* (loop) wait for readers
*        wait for writers -- again

while the new goes directly to the reader check. This should behave the
same on a contended lock with multiple writers and readers, but can
reduce number of times we're waiting on something.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
