As described in [1] compiling with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING shows that
kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast() is blocking on pfncache locks in IRQ context.
Instead, use read_trylock() and treat failure to lock the same as an
invalid cache.

Although I would prefer the commit comment to note that this is only
wrong for PREEMPT_RT, as all those locks were irq-safe. This is because
PREEMPT_RT is going to turn them into mutexes — and mostly trick things
into working by making all IRQ handlers threaded... except this one
isn't just in an IRQ handler; its in an HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_HARD callback
which still *will* be in real interrupt context.

And there's no 'raw' version of the rwlock for us to use.
