[PATCH 2/3] ext4: fix inode rwsem regression

Goldwyn Rodrigues
2019-09-11T16:45:31Z

From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@suse.com>

This is similar to 942491c9e6d6 ("xfs: fix AIM7 regression")
Apparently our current rwsem code doesn't like doing the trylock, then
lock for real scheme. So change our read/write methods to just do the
trylock for the RWF_NOWAIT case.

Fixes: 728fbc0e10b7 ("ext4: nowait aio support")
