[PATCH] drm/amdgpu/dc: Stop dma_resv_lock inversion in commit_tail

Trying to grab dma_resv_lock while in commit_tail before we've done
all the code that leads to the eventual signalling of the vblank event
(which can be a dma_fence) is deadlock-y. Don't do that.

Here the solution is easy because just grabbing locks to read
something races anyway. We don't need to bother, READ_ONCE is
equivalent. And avoids the locking issue.

v2: Also take into account tmz_surface boolean, plus just delete the
old code.

DC-folks, I think this split out patch from my series here

https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20200707201229.472834-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch/

should be ready for review/merging. I fixed it up a bit so that it's not
just a gross hack :-)

Cheers, Daniel
