I was wrong about the code motion: in . . .

   } else if (TARGET_URWLOCK_READER_COUNT(state) != 0) {
        /* decrement reader count */
        for (;;) {
            if (!tcmpset_32(&target_urwlock->rw_state, state, (state  - 1))) {
                if (TARGET_URWLOCK_READER_COUNT(state) == 0) {
                    unlock_user_struct(target_urwlock,
                        target_addr, 1);
                        return -TARGET_EPERM;
                 }
            } else {
                break;
            }
        }

the outer test was leading to the inner-if being eliminated. While
"volatile state" stopped that from happening it did not fix the hang-up
in the loop. (There are likely other consequences to the use of memory
involved instead of just a register as well.)
