Daniel Vetter e090c53b21 drm/irq: remove cargo-culted locking from irq_install/uninstall
The dev->struct_mutex locking in drm_irq.c only protects
dev->irq_enabled. Which isn't really much at all and only prevents
especially nasty ums userspace from concurrently installing the
interrupt handling a few times. Or at least trying.

There are tons of unlocked readers of dev->irqs_enabled in the vblank
wait code (and by extension also in the pageflip code since that uses
the same vblank timestamp engine).

Real modesetting drivers should ensure that nothing can go haywire
with a sane setup teardown sequence. So we only really need this for
the drm_control ioctl, everywhere else this will just paper over
nastiness.

Note that drm/i915 is a bit specially due to the gem+ums combination.
So there we also need to properly protect the entervt and leavevt
ioctls. But it's definitely saner to do everything in one go than to
drop the lock in-between.

Finally there's the gpu reset code in drm/i915. That one's just race
(concurrent userspace calls to for vblank waits of pageflips could
spuriously fail). So wrap it up in with a nice comment since fixing
this is more involved.

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:
