[PATCH 0/2] Refactor snapshot vs nocow writers locking

[Nikolay Borisov]

This patchset first factors out the open code which essentially implements a 
lock that allows to have either multiple reader or multiple writers but not 
both. Then patch 2 just converts the code to using the newly introduced lock. 

The individual patch descriptions contain more information about the technical 
details and invariants that the lock provide. 

I have also CC'ed a copule of the maintainer of linux memory model since my 
patches just factor out the code and I would really like someone proficient 
enough in the usage/semantics of memory barries to review it as well.
