If we bother with this, it should imo be moved into the drm_fb_helper.c
function drm_fb_helper_set_suspend(). But this also smells like some kind
of bad duct-tape. I think Lukas is working on some other rpm vs. fbdev
deadlocks, maybe we could fix them all with one proper fix? I've made some
comments on Lukas' last patch series.

Besides this, when fixing a deadlock pls provide more details about the
precise callchain and the locks involved in the deadlock. If you
discovered this using lockdep, then just add the entire lockdep splat to
the commit message. Otherwise there's lots of guesswork involved here.
