     Therefore, there is a trade-off between being able to use a combinable
     read-modify-write operation and a CAS loop as used below; we pick the
     latter because it simplifies the code, and should perform better when
     tryrdlock is used in cases where writers are infrequent.

     However, because tryrdlock must not appear to block, we should avoid
     starving this CAS loop due to constant changes to __readers:
     While normal rdlock readers that won't be able to acquire will just block
     (and we expect timeouts on timedrdlock to be longer than one retry of the
     CAS loop), we can have concurrently failing tryrdlock calls due to
     readers or writers that acquire and release in the meantime.  Using
     randomized exponential back-off to make a live-lock unlikely should be
     sufficient.
