Broken locking in ttm_bo_swapout

I have a fairly simple opengl application running on nouveau. It
effectively just plots a couple of very large images that change regularly.
I've been getting an easily repeatable failure, hitting the
BUG_ON(in_interrupt) in vfree() that is called during ttm_shrink_work().
Obviously vfree() is being called with a lock held...
Looking at the locking up through the stack trace, there's an obvious
mistake:
There should be a:
spin_lock(&glob->lru_lock);
before the continue in ttm_bo_swapout() in drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo.c

continue;
}
That fixes the problem for me.
