alpha SMP doesn't build, due to lack of _raw_read_trylock().

Patch below completely untested...  needs review and testing.

One could also use the arch-neutral generic_raw_read_trylock(),
but that implementation is rather lame (it spins).  I'm amazed at the
number of arches that use the generic implementation, since the generic
version isn't really a "trylock".

Don't send this patch upstream until its been verified to actually work.
