There is a deadlock bug when these functions are used in nonblocking
mode.  The else side is only meant to be taken in when the code is
used in blocking mode.  But the way it's written now, if we manage to
take the lock without blocking then we try to take it a second time in
the else statement which leads to a deadlock.

Fixes: a3402cb621c1 ("mm/hmm: improve driver API to work and wait over a range")
