Subject: [PATCH v11 17/19] KVM: xen: don't block on pfncache locks in kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast()

From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@...zon.com>

As described in [1] compiling with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING shows that
kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast() is blocking on pfncache locks in IRQ context.
There is only actually blocking with PREEMPT_RT because the locks will
turned into mutexes. There is no 'raw' version of rwlock_t that can be used
to avoid that, so use read_trylock() and treat failure to lock the same as
an invalid cache.
