[PATCH 00/19] wire acquire ctx through legacy modeset paths

Hi all,

This is something I kinda had on my todo list ever since atomic landed. The
legacy_backoff() hack really doesn't work if you need to acquire additional
locks, which does restrict drivers in how they handle and protect legacy paths,
and kinda forces us to be overzealous with taking locks for legacy paths, just
in case.

This patch set here fixes this, with 2 huge exceptions:
- get/set_property calls aren't fixed. The locking in there is a mess and needs
  some serious attention. My goal would be that for atomic we take no lock at
  all, and entirely rely upon the magic of drm_modeset_lock and atomic to just
  grab the minimal set required to update a property.

- fbdev emulation helpers. It abused the modeset_lock_all bkl as its own lock,
  which prevents us from pushing it down just around the (atomic) modeset calls,
  and hence from switching over to handling the acquire context in an explicit
  fashion. Thierry started to fix this with the addition of proper locking for
  fbdev emulation, but it needs a pile more work.

Survived light testing with full ww mutex debugging, I'll rely on CI to catch
the remaining mixups :-)

Cheers, Daniel
