mm/show_mem: add trylock while printing alloc info
In production, show_mem() can be called concurrently from two different entities, for example one from oom_kill_process() another from __alloc_pages_slowpath from another kthread. This patch adds a spinlock and invokes trylock before printing out the kernel alloc info in show_mem(). This way two alloc info won't interleave with each other, which then makes parsing easier.
