From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

In the process of adding lockdep annotation for drm GPU scheduler's
job_run() to detect potential deadlock against shrinker/reclaim, I hit
this lockdep splat:

   ======================================================

   but task is already holding lock:

   which lock already depends on the new lock.

   other info that might help us debug this:

   Chain exists of:
     dev_pm_qos_mtx --> dma_fence_map --> &gpu->active_lock

    Possible unsafe locking scenario:

          CPU0                    CPU1
          ----                    ----
     lock(&gpu->active_lock);
                                  lock(dma_fence_map);
                                  lock(&gpu->active_lock);
     lock(dev_pm_qos_mtx);

The issue is that dev_pm_qos_mtx is held in the runpm suspend/resume (or
freq change) path, but it is also held across allocations that could
recurse into shrinker.

Solve this by changing dev_pm_qos_constraints_allocate() into a function
that can be called unconditionally before the device qos object is
needed and before aquiring dev_pm_qos_mtx.  This way the allocations can
be done without holding the mutex.  In the case that we raced with
another thread to allocate the qos object, detect this *after* acquiring
the dev_pm_qos_mtx and simply free the redundant allocations.

One small change from the RFC[1], it skips the allocation if
dev->power.qos is already allocated.  Since this is only freed on
device removal, it seems safe to rely on not seeing a !null to null
transition.
