Add cond_guard() macro to conditional guards.
cond_guard() is a guard to be used with the conditional variants of locks,
like down_read_trylock() or mutex_lock_interruptible().
It takes a statement (or more statements in a block) that is passed to its
second argument. That statement (or block) is executed if waiting for a
lock is interrupted or if a _trylock() fails in case of contention.
Usage example:
cond_guard(rwsem_read_try, { printk(...); return 0; }, &semaphore);
Consistenly with the other guards, locks are unlocked at the exit of the
scope where cond_guard() is called.

Missed commenting on this in the last posting, but multi-statement fail
cases that print and return 0 are unlikely to ever be the common case. I
think the most simple to understand example is an interruptible lock
that returns -EINTR on failure:
cond_guard(mutex_intr, return -EINTR, &mutex);
...and then maybe mention that _fail can be a statement-expression if
needed.

Use the naming that scoped_cond_guard() uses: _fail rather than _ret
