I don't know why perf reports down_read_trylock(&shrinker_rwsem). But
above code is already bad. GFP_KERNEL allocation involves shrinkers and
the OOM killer would be invoked because shrinkers are defunctional due to
this down_write(&shrinker_rwsem). Please avoid blocking memory allocation
with shrinker_rwsem held.
