[Nouveau] [PATCH 25/65] drm/nouveau: Drop mutex_lock_nested for atomic

Purely conjecture, but I think the original locking inversion with the
legacy page flip code between flipping and ttm's bo move function
shoudn't exist anymore with atomic: With atomic the bo pinning and
actual modeset commit is completely separated in the code patsh.

I might be totally wrong, so this definitely needs testing :-)

Cheers, Daniel
