    drm/nouveau: Fix sleep while atomic in nouveau_bo_fence().


i can't change output resolution for fbcon. It always come up with 1280x1024x32
initial size, but then X succesfully  use it's part of VRAM. But fbcon buffer
currently marked as pinned in VRAM, so on low-vram card like 16Mb TNT2 I run
out of memory too fast.

Logs will follow, kernel command line as shown by cat /proc/cmdline:

BOOT_IMAGE=2.6.36-nuvo ro root=1601 nocd nopcmcia max_loop=255 nohotplug
vt.default_utf8=0 video=VGA-1:800x600-16 at 85
