[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Switch obj->mm.lock lockdep annotations on its head

Just some nits/typos that made this a little difficult for me to read.

I am still trying to understand what is going on, so unfortunately
I have no comments on the patch.

I am not sure what the sentence,

"And get/put_page transitions between the two types of objects."

means.  Can you clarify?

I am having difficulty with "But as long as we run such a code ever at".

Should this be, "With this code, runtime lockdep should be able to..."?
