Subject: [PATCH] Lockdep treats down_write_trylock like regular down_write

This causes constructions like

down_write(&mm1->mmap_sem);
if (down_write_trylock(&mm2->mmap_sem)) {
       ...
       up_write(&mm2->mmap_sem);
}
up_write(&mm1->mmap_sem);

generate a lockdep warning about circular locking dependence.

Call rwsem_acquire() with trylock set to 1.
