commit 48dfb5d2560d36fb16c7d430c229d1604ea7d185 upstream.
Make the region inside the rwsem_write_trylock non preemptible.
We observe RT task is hogging CPU when trying to acquire rwsem lock
which was acquired by a kworker task but before the rwsem owner was set.
Here is the scenario:
1. CFS task (affined to a particular CPU) takes rwsem lock.
2. CFS task gets preempted by a RT task before setting owner.
3. RT task (FIFO) is trying to acquire the lock, but spinning until
RT throttling happens for the lock as the lock was taken by CFS task.
This patch attempts to fix the above issue by disabling preemption
until owner is set for the lock. While at it also fix the issues
at the places where rwsem_{set,clear}_owner() are called.
This also adds lockdep annotation of preemption disable in
rwsem_{set,clear}_owner() on Peter Z. suggestion.

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.
