[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Fixing mutex deadlock window at eDP DRRS

[Ramalingam C]

In invalidate and flush functions of eDP DRRS, if deferred downclock
work starts execution at a time window between acquiring the drrs
mutex and cancellation of the deferred work
(intel_edp_drrs_downclock_work), then deferred work will find
drrs mutex locked and wait for the same.

Meanwhile the function that acquired mutex drrs invalidate/flush will
wait for the completion of the deferred work before releasing the mutex.
Thats a deadlock.

To avoid such deadlock scenario, this change cancels the deferred work
before acquiring the mutex at invalidate and flush functions.
