[PATCH] mm: remove unintentional voluntary preemption in get_mmap_lock_carefully

[Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@gmail.com>]

Should the trylock succeed (and thus blocking was avoided), the routine
wants to ensure blocking was still legal to do. However, the method
used ends up calling __cond_resched injecting a voluntary preemption
point with the freshly acquired lock.

One can hack around it using __might_sleep instead of mere might_sleep,
but since threads keep going off CPU here, I figured it is better to
accomodate it.

Drop the trylock, do the read lock which does the job prior to lock
acquire.

Found by checking off-CPU time during kernel build (like so:
"offcputime-bpfcc -Ku"), sample backtrace:
    finish_task_switch.isra.0
    __schedule
    __cond_resched
    lock_mm_and_find_vma
    do_user_addr_fault
    exc_page_fault
    asm_exc_page_fault
    -                sh (4502)
        10
