kexec: turn all kexec_mutex acquisitions into trylocks
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.
