Subject: kexec: turn all kexec_mutex acquisitions into trylocks

From: Valentin Schneider <vschneid@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7bb5da0d490b2d836c5218f5186ee588d2145310 upstream.

Patch series "kexec, panic: Making crash_kexec() NMI safe", v4.


This patch (of 2):

Most acquistions of kexec_mutex are done via mutex_trylock() - those were
a direct "translation" from:

  8c5a1cf0ad3a ("kexec: use a mutex for locking rather than xchg()")

there have however been two additions since then that use mutex_lock():
crash_get_memory_size() and crash_shrink_memory().

A later commit will replace said mutex with an atomic variable, and
locking operations will become atomic_cmpxchg().  Rather than having those
mutex_lock() become while (atomic_cmpxchg(&lock, 0, 1)), turn them into
trylocks that can return -EBUSY on acquisition failure.

This does halve the printable size of the crash kernel, but that's still
neighbouring 2G for 32bit kernels which should be ample enough.
