There's an unnecessary blank line here.

I hate code that jumps into braced blocks with goto.  Would it be possible for
you to do:

	readers_only:
		if (downgrading)
			goto wake_readers;
	...
	wake_readers:
		/* Grant an infinite number of read locks to the readers at the front
	...

instead, please?

Also, since the labels 'undo' and 'try_again' are now specific to the writer
path, can you label them 'undo_write' and 'try_again_write' just to make it
obvious?

Other than that, no particular objections to this patch.
