drm/msm: Fix shrinker deadlock

With PROVE_LOCKING on an Snapdragon X1 and VM reclaim pressure, we see:

kswapd0 holding fs_reclaim calls the MSM shrinker, which calls dma_resv_lock. This in turn acquires fs_reclaim.

Fix this deadlock by using dma_resv_trylock() instead, dropping the subsequently unused passed wait-wound lock 'ticket'.
