drm/ttm: Use mutex_trylock() to avoid deadlock inside shrinker functions.

I can observe that RHEL7 environment stalls with 100% CPU usage when a
certain type of memory pressure is given. While the shrinker functions
are called by shrink_slab() before the OOM killer is triggered, the stall
lasts for many minutes.

One of reasons of this stall is that
ttm_dma_pool_shrink_count()/ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan() are called and
are blocked at mutex_lock(&_manager->lock). GFP_KERNEL allocation with
_manager->lock held causes someone (including kswapd) to deadlock when
these functions are called due to memory pressure. This patch changes
"mutex_lock();" to "if (!mutex_trylock()) return ...;" in order to
avoid deadlock.
