This patch is only needed for drivers that use console_lock (for
drm_fb_helper_set_suspend) in their runtime resume functions.
Lukas posted fixes for runtime PM reference leaks, those are different
from this deadlock (see
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-July/113005.html
for a backtrace for this issue).

The deadlock could also be avoided if the device backing the fbcon is
somehow runtime-resumed outside the lock, but that feels like a larger
hack that does not seem easy.

The i915 patch was done to reduce resume time (due to console_lock
contention), that feature seems useful to all other drivers too even if
the deadlock is fixed in a different way.

My current plan is to move stuff out of the lock and allow (just)
resuming the console to be delayed.  Some drivers (nouveau,
radeon/amdgpu, i915) do unnecessary stuff under the console lock:

 - nouveau: I *think* that cleraing/setting FBINFO_HWACCEL_DISABLED
   (nouveau_fbcon_accel_restore) is safe outside the lock as the fb is
   already suspended before clearing/after setting the flag.
 - radeon: since the console is suspended, I don't think that that all
   of the code is radeon_resume_kms is really needed.
 - amdgpu: same as radeon. Btw, console_lock is leaked on an error path.
 - i915: I think that clearing the fb memory can be done outside the
   lock too as the console is suspended.

Please correct me if my assumptions are flawed.

There was no lockdep splat, it was triggered via the ioctl in the commit
message. I'll include the verbose trace from the previous mail in the
next proposed patch to reduce hunting though.
