Another circular lock dependency involving fs-reclaim and drm_buddy

We fixed a similar issue with Philip's patch "drm/amdgpu: Drop eviction 
lock when allocating PT BO", but there was another one hiding underneath 
that (see the log below). The problem is, that we're still allocating 
page tables while holding the prange->lock in the kfd_svm code, which is 
also held in MMU notifiers. This creates a lock dependency between the 
vram_mgr->lock and fs-reclaim.

There are three ways around this:

  * Do the page table mapping outside prange->lock (creates a race,
    contradicts advice in Documentation/vm/hmm.rst)
  * Avoid all page table allocation in amdgpu_vm_update_range (i.e.
    allocate page tables ahead of time somehow)
  * Wrap vram_mgr->lock with memalloc_noreclaim_save/restore (may cause
    memory allocations to fail in drm_buddy under memory pressure)

I only mention the first one for completeness. It's not a valid 
solution. Neither of the remaining two options are particularly 
appealing either.

Regards,
   Felix
