If shrinker succeeded to grab ashmem_mutex using mutex_trylock(), it is
guaranteed that that thread is not inside

  mutex_lock(&ashmem_mutex);
  kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL);
  mutex_unlock(&ashmem_mutex);

block. Therefore, I think that it is safe to use mutex_lock() here.

Nonetheless, although syzbot did not find other dependency, I can update this
patch to use mutex_trylock() if you worry about not-yet-discovered dependency.

Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: android: ashmem: Don't call fallocate() with ashmem_mutex held.

syzbot is hitting lockdep warnings [1][2][3]. This patch tries to fix
the warning by eliminating ashmem_shrink_scan() => {shmem|vfs}_fallocate()
sequence.
