Good catch. This is most likely fallout from refactoring the client
suspend code. Radeon is also the only driver calling this with
holds_console_lock=true. I'd say, try to remove the locking here and
pass false as second argument. We can later remove that second argument
as well. Console locking should only be a concern of the console client
(aka. fbdev emulation).
