The newly added function ocfs2_try_rw_lock almost has the same logic
with ocfs2_rw_lock.Is it possible to combine them into an unique one?
That will be more elegant.

Moreover, can you elaborate further why we need a *NOQUEUE* lock for
supporting non-block aio?

Why can't we wait for a while to grant a lock request? Is this necessary?

Thanks,
Changwei
