ratelimit: Fix/allow use in atomic contexts

I'd like to use printk_ratelimit() in NMI context, but it's not
robust right now due to spinlock usage in lib/ratelimit.c. If an
NMI is unlucky enough to hit just that spot we might lock up trying
to take the spinlock again.

Fix that by using a trylock variant. If we contend on that lock we
can genuinely skip the message because the state is just being
accessed by another CPU (or by this CPU).

( We could use atomics for the suppressed messages field, but
  i doubt it matters in practice and it makes the code heavier. )
