Joel Fernandes (Google) 0818e739b5 mm/vmalloc: add a safer version of find_vm_area() for debug
It is unsafe to dump vmalloc area information when trying to do so from
some contexts.  Add a safer trylock version of the same function to do a
best-effort VMA finding and use it from vmalloc_dump_obj().

[applied test robot feedback on unused function fix.]
[applied Uladzislau feedback on locking.]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
