drm/vmwgfx: Clean up fbdev modeset locking At least since the atomic port, the vmwgfx fbdev code is taking a number of unnecessary modeset locks. In particular the kms_set_config() function will grab its own locks, leading to locking retries. So avoid drm_modeset_lock_all() and instead provide a local acquire context for kms_set_config(). Also have the vmw_kms_fbdev_init data itself grab the lock that it needs. This also fixed a long standing problem that vmw_fb_close() didn't provide an acquire context for kms_set_config(), causing potential warnings and hangs during driver unload. This problem was uncovered by the recent commit "drm/vmwgfx: Improve on hibernation" Testing done: Repeated driver load and unload on Ubuntu 16.04.2 Fixes: c3b9b1657344 ("drm/vmwgfx: Improve on hibernation") Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@vmware.com> Reviewed-by: Deepak Rawat <drawat@vmware.com> Reviewed-by: Sinclair Yeh <syeh@vmware.com>
