How about getting rid of the gotos:

	while (fs) {
		locked = union_trylock(fs->root);
		if (locked) {
			locked = union_trylock(fs->altroot);
			if (locked) {
				locked = union_trylock(fs->pwd);
				if (locked)
					break;
				else {
					union_unlock(fs->altroot);
					union_unlock(fs->root);
				}
			else
				union_unlock(fs->root);
			}
		}
		read_unlock(&fs->lock);
		UM_DEBUG_LOCK("Failed to get all semaphores in fs_struct!\n");
		cpu_relax();
		read_lock(&fs->lock);
	}
	BUG_ON(!fs);

It's the same number of lines.  Shorter if you get rid of the "locked"
variable.
