It seems that we have a few issues with this configuration in xe and
in i915.  Let's try to revert it to see if the problems we're seeing
go away.

Note, these are _real_ issues, but only if CONFIG_RT is enabled, so the actual issues need to be solved properly, but we can revert this change until then, to avoid regressions.

 	 Enable the raw_spinlock vs. spinlock nesting checks which ensure
 	 that the lock nesting rules for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels are
 	 not violated.
