[PATCH 40/52] fuse: Do not block on inode lock while freeing memory range

Once we select a memory range to free, we currently block on inode
lock. Do not block and use trylock instead. And move on to next memory
range if trylock fails.

Reason being that in next few patches I want to enabling waiting for
memmory ranges to become free in fuse_iomap_begin(). So insted of
returning -EBUSY, a process will wait for a memory range to become
free.

We don't want to end up in a situation where process is sleeping in
iomap_begin() with inode lock held and worker is trying to free
memory from same inode, resulting in deadlock.

To avoid deadlock, use trylock instead.
