     (readers waiting, write phase) if we prefer writers.
     If we observe any other state, we are allowed to fail and do not need to
     "synchronize memory" as specified by POSIX (hence relaxed MO is
     sufficient for the first load and the CAS failure path).
     We face a similar issue as in tryrdlock in that we need to both avoid
     live-locks / starvation and must not fail spuriously (see there for
     further comments) -- and thus must loop until we get a definitive
     observation or state change.  */
