commit 0818e739b5c061b0251c30152380600fb9b84c0c upstream. It is unsafe to dump vmalloc area information when trying to do so from some contexts. Add a safer trylock version of the same function to do a best-effort VMA finding and use it from vmalloc_dump_obj().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
