[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: Don't call synchronize_rcu_expedited under struct_mutex

[Joonas Lahtinen]

Only call synchronize_rcu_expedited after unlocking struct_mutex to
avoid deadlock because the workqueues depend on struct_mutex.

>From original patch by Andrea:

synchronize_rcu/synchronize_sched/synchronize_rcu_expedited() will
hang until its own workqueues are run. The i915 gem workqueues will
wait on the struct_mutex to be released. So we cannot wait for a
quiescent state using those rcu primitives while holding the
struct_mutex or it creates a circular lock dependency resulting in
kernel hangs (which is reproducible but goes undetected by lockdep).
