[PATCH] mm: schedule find_trylock_page() removal
find_trylock_page() is an odd interface in that it doesn't take a reference
like the others. Now that XFS no longer uses it, and its last remaining
caller actually wants an elevated refcount, opencode that callsite and
schedule find_trylock_page() for removal.
