register as a reader. However, if we misspeculate, we have to do the
same steps as a timed-out rdlock, which will increase contention.
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.
Because POSIX does not require a failed trylock to "synchronize memory",
relaxed MO is sufficient here and on the failure path of the CAS
below. */

(i.e., fails to acquire the lock although there is no writer), which is
fine for C++14 but not currently allowed by POSIX.
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.

because all other readers will see the read phase started by us
(or they will try to start it themselves); if a writer started
the read phase, we cannot have started it. Furthermore, we
cannot discard a PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED flag because we will
overwrite the value set by the most recent writer (or the readers
before it in case of explicit hand-over) and we know that there
