Recently a regression was introduced which caused TTM's buffer eviction to
attempt to evict already-pinned BOs, causing issues with buffer eviction
under memory pressure along with suspend/resume:

After some bisection and investigation, it appears this resulted from the
recent changes to ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail(). Previously when a buffer was
pinned, the buffer would be removed from the LRU once ttm_bo_unreserve
to maintain the LRU list when pinning or unpinning BOs. However, since:

commit 3d1a88e1051f ("drm/ttm: cleanup LRU handling further")

We've been exiting from ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail() at the very beginning of
the function if the bo we're looking at is pinned, resulting in the pinned
BO never getting removed from the lru and as a result - causing issues when
it eventually becomes time for eviction.

So, let's fix this by calling ttm_bo_del_from_lru() from
ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail() in the event that we're dealing with a pinned
buffer.

v2 (chk): reduce to only the fixing one liner since we always want to
call the callback whenever we would move on the LRU.
