i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex

The main shrinker driver will keep trying for a while to free objects if
the returned value from the shrink scan procedure is 0.  That means "no
objects now", but a retry could very well succeed.

But what we should say here is a different thing: that it is impossible to
shrink, and we would better bail out soon.  We find this behavior more
appropriate for the case where the lock cannot be taken.  Specially given
the hammer behavior of the i915: if another thread is already shrinking,
we are likely not to be able to shrink anything anyway when we finally
acquire the mutex.
