[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm: fix order of event_lock wrt. vblank_time_clock

drm_vblank_off() requires callers to hold the event_lock, while itself
locking vbl_time and vblank_time_lock. This defines a dependency chain
that conflicts with the one in drm_handle_vblank() where we first lock
vblank_time_lock and then the event_lock. Fix this by reversing the
locking order in drm_handle_vblank().

This should've triggered a lockdep warning in the exynos driver, the
rest of the drivers were ok, since they are not using drm_vblank_off(),
or as in the case of the intel driver were not holding the event_lock
when calling drm_vblank_off(). This latter issue is addressed in the
next patch.

Tested with i915, the rest of the drivers should be checked with
lockdep enabled.
