Goldwyn Rodrigues 3eb81bbf4e btrfs: simplify inode locking for RWF_NOWAIT
commit 9cf35f6735 upstream.

This is similar to 942491c9e6 ("xfs: fix AIM7 regression"). Apparently
our current rwsem code doesn't like doing the trylock, then lock for
real scheme. This causes extra contention on the lock and can be
measured eg. by AIM7 benchmark.  So change our read/write methods to
just do the trylock for the RWF_NOWAIT case.

Fixes: edf064e7c6 ("btrfs: nowait aio support")
