- added must-check
- added preemptible() check // just in case
- added locking rules list

Oh, and also switched to acquire/release semantics, like you suggested
a couple of days ago.

/*
* zspage locking rules:
*
* 1) writer-lock is exclusive
*
* 2) writer-lock owner cannot sleep
*
* 3) writer-lock owner cannot spin waiting for the lock
* - caller (e.g. compaction and migration) must check return value and
* handle locking failures
* - there is only TRY variant of writer-lock function
*
* 4) reader-lock owners (multiple) can sleep
*
* 5) reader-lock owners can spin waiting for the lock, in any context
* - existing readers (even preempted ones) don't block new readers
* - writer-lock owners never sleep, always unlock at some point
