[PATCH 1/2] drm/vmwgfx: Fix a couple of lock dependency violations

Experimental lockdep annotation added to the TTM lock has unveiled a
couple of lock dependency violations in the vmwgfx driver. In both
cases it turns out that the device_private::reservation_sem is not
needed so the offending code is moved out of that lock.
