[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/4] drm/i915: The shrinker already acquires struct_mutex, so call it unlocked

The shrinker is prepared to be called unlock (and with struct_mutex held
for DIRECT_RECLAIM) so we can skip acquiring the struct_mutex prior to
calling the shrinking during freeze. This improves our ability to shrink
as we can be more aggressive when we know the caller isn't holding
struct_mutex.
