Addresses "[BUG] completely bonkers use of set_need_resched + VM_FAULT_NOPAGE". In the first occurence it was used to try to be nice while releasing the mmap_sem and retrying the fault to work around a locking inversion. The second occurence was never used. There has been some discussion whether we should change the locking order to mmap_sem -> bo_reserve. This patch doesn't address that issue, and leaves that locking order undefined. The solution that we release the mmap_sem if tryreserve fails and wait for the buffer to become unreserved is something we want in any case, and follows how the core vm system waits for pages to be come unlocked while releasing the mmap_sem. The code also outlines what needs to be changed if we want to establish the locking order as mmap_sem -> bo::reserve. One slight issue that remains with this code is that the fault handler might be prone to starvation if another thread countinously reserves the buffer. IMO that usage pattern is highly unlikely.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
