[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Disable RPM helpers while reprobing connectors on resume

Just about all of amdgpu's connector probing functions try to acquire
runtime PM refs. If we try to do this in the context of
amdgpu_resume_kms by calling drm_helper_hpd_irq_event(), we end up
deadlocking the system.

Since we're guaranteed to be holding the spinlock for RPM in
amdgpu_resume_kms, and we already know the GPU is in working order, we
need to prevent the RPM helpers from trying to run during the initial
connector reprobe on resume.

There's a couple of solutions I've explored for fixing this, but this
one by far seems to be the simplest and most reliable (plus I'm pretty
sure that's what disable_depth is there for anyway).

Reproduction recipe:
  - Get any laptop dual GPUs using PRIME
  - Make sure runtime PM is enabled for amdgpu
  - Boot the machine
  - If the machine managed to boot without hanging, switch out of X to
    another VT. This should definitely cause X to hang infinitely.
