[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/4] drm/i915: Reduce spinlock hold time during notify_ring() interrupt

[Chris Wilson]

By taking advantage of the RCU protection of the task struct, we can find
the appropriate signaler under the spinlock and then release the spinlock
before waking the task and signaling the fence.
