[PATCH 2/4] drm/shmem: Use mutex_trylock in drm_gem_shmem_purge

Lockdep reports a circular locking dependency with pages_lock taken in
the shrinker callback. The deadlock can't actually happen with current
users at least as a BO will never be purgeable when pages_lock is held.
To be safe, let's use mutex_trylock() instead and bail if a BO is locked
already.

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

------------------------------------------------------
kswapd0/171 is trying to acquire lock:
000000009b9823fd (&shmem->pages_lock){+.+.}, at: drm_gem_shmem_purge+0x20/0x40

but task is already holding lock:
00000000f82369b6 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: __fs_reclaim_acquire+0x0/0x40

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
