mm/thp: do not wait for lock_page() in deferred_split_scan()

commit fa41b900c30b45fab03783724932dc30cd46a6be upstream.

deferred_split_scan() gets called from reclaim path.  Waiting for page
lock may lead to deadlock there.

Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed
to lock it.  We will get to the page on the next scan.
