Srikar Dronamraju 7534612123 mm/migrate: Use spin_trylock() while resetting rate limit
Since this spinlock will only serialize the migrate rate limiting,
convert the spin_lock() to a spin_trylock(). If another thread is updating, this
task can move on.

Avoiding stretching of window intervals may be the reason for the
regression. Also code now uses READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE. That may
also be hurting performance to some extent.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
