When the following command is executed several times, a coredump file is generated.
	$ timeout -k 9 5 perf top -e task-clock
	*******
	*******
	*******
	0.01%  [kernel]                  [k] __do_softirq
	0.01%  libpthread-2.28.so        [.] __pthread_mutex_lock
	0.01%  [kernel]                  [k] __ll_sc_atomic64_sub_return
	double free or corruption (!prev) perf top --sort comm,dso
	timeout: the monitored command dumped core

When we terminate "perf top" using sending signal method, SLsmg_reset_smg
function is called. SLsmg_reset_smg resets the SLsmg screen management routines
by freeing all memory allocated while it was active. However SLsmg_reinit_smg
function maybe be called by another thread. SLsmg_reinit_smg function will
free the same memory accessed by SLsmg_reset_smg functon, thus it results
in double free. SLsmg_reinit_smg function is called already protected by
ui__lock, so we fix the problem by adding pthread_mutex_trylock of ui__lock
when calling SLsmg_reset_smg function.
