[PATCH 2/6] mm/migrate: Use trylock while resetting rate limit

From: Srikar Dronamraju
Date: Fri Aug 03 2018 - 02:15:24 EST


Since this spinlock will only serialize migrate rate limiting,
convert the spinlock to a trylock. If another task races ahead of this task
then this task can simply move on.

While here, add correct two abnormalities.
- Avoid time being stretched for every interval.
- Use READ/WRITE_ONCE with next window.

Changelog v1->v2:
Fix stretch every interval pointed by Peter Zijlstra.
Verified that some of the regression is due to fixing interval stretch.
