cleanup: Introduce ACQUIRE() and ACQUIRE_ERR() for conditional locks
scoped_cond_guard(), automatic cleanup for conditional locks, has a couple pain points: * It causes existing straight-line code to be re-indented into a new bracketed scope. While this can be mitigated by a new helper function to contain the scope, that is not always a comfortable conversion. * The return code from the conditional lock is tossed in favor of a scheme to pass a 'return err;' statement to the macro. Other attempts to clean this up, to behave more like guard() [1], got hung up trying to both establish and evaluate the conditional lock in one statement. ACQUIRE() solves this by reflecting the result of the condition in the automatic variable established by the lock CLASS(). The result is separately retrieved with the ACQUIRE_ERR() helper, effectively a PTR_ERR() operation.
