btrfs: Implement DREW lock

A (D)ouble (R)eader (W)riter (E)xclustion lock is a locking primitive
that allows to have multiple readers or multiple writers but not
multiple readers and writers holding it concurrently.

The code is factored out from the existing open-coded locking scheme
used to exclude pending snapshots from nocow writers and vice-versa.
Current implementation actually favors Readers (that is snapshot
creaters) to writers (nocow writers of the filesystem).

The API provides lock/unlock/trylock for reads and writes.

Formal specification for TLA+ provided by Valentin Schneider is at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/2dcaf81c-f0d3-409e-cb29-733d8b3b4cc9@arm.com/

/*
* DREW locks
* ==========
*
* DREW stands for double-reader-writer-exclusion lock. It's used in situation
* where you want to provide A-B exclusion but not AA or BB.
*
* Currently implementation gives more priority to reader. If a reader and a
* writer both race to acquire their respective sides of the lock the writer
* would yield its lock as soon as it detects a concurrent reader. Additionally
* if there are pending readers no new writers would be allowed to come in and
* acquire the lock.
