rwsem_is_locked() test isn't equivalent with __mutex_owner() == current test, is it?
If rwsem_is_locked() returns true because somebody else has locked it, there is
no guarantee that current thread has locked it before calling this function.

down_write_trylock() test isn't equivalent with __mutex_owner() == current test, is it?
What if somebody else held it for read or write (the worst case is registration path),
down_write_trylock() will return false even if current thread has not locked it for
read or write.

I think this WARN_ON_ONCE() can not detect incorrect call to this function.
