mm/migrate: Use spin_trylock() while resetting rate limit

srikard · Ingo Molnar · commit 7534612123e0 · 2018-10-02T09:42:26.000+02:00
Since this spinlock will only serialize the migrate rate limiting, convert the spin_lock() to a spin_trylock(). If another thread is updating, this task can move on.

Also code now uses READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE. That may also be hurting performance to some extent.
