From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

Teach memcg to operate under trylock conditions when spinning locks
cannot be used.

local_trylock might fail and this would lead to charge cache bypass if
the calling context doesn't allow spinning (gfpflags_allow_spinning).
In those cases charge the memcg counter directly and fail early if
that is not possible. This might cause a pre-mature charge failing
but it will allow an opportunistic charging that is safe from
try_alloc_pages path.
