From: Sultan Alsawaf <sultan at kerneltoast.com>
The following deadlock exists in i915_active_wait() due to a double lock
on ref->mutex (call chain listed in order from top to bottom):
i915_active_wait();
mutex_lock_interruptible(&ref->mutex); <-- ref->mutex first acquired
i915_active_request_retire();
node_retire();
active_retire();
mutex_lock_nested(&ref->mutex, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING); <-- DEADLOCK
Fix the deadlock by skipping the second ref->mutex lock when
active_retire() is called through i915_active_request_retire().
Note that this bug only affects 5.4 and has since been fixed in 5.5.
Normally, a backport of the fix from 5.5 would be in order, but the
patch set that fixes this deadlock involves massive changes that are
neither feasible nor desirable for backporting [1][2][3]. Therefore,
this small patch was made to address the deadlock specifically for 5.4.
