mm: thp: use down_read_trylock() in khugepaged to avoid long block

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before
scanning an mm.  But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process
which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in
uninterruptible state.  But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a
long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the
below khugepaged hung issue:

  INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
