Joonas Lahtinen c053b5a506 drm/i915: Don't call synchronize_rcu_expedited under struct_mutex
Only call synchronize_rcu_expedited after unlocking struct_mutex to
avoid deadlock because the workqueues depend on struct_mutex.

>From original patch by Andrea:

synchronize_rcu/synchronize_sched/synchronize_rcu_expedited() will
hang until its own workqueues are run. The i915 gem workqueues will
wait on the struct_mutex to be released. So we cannot wait for a
quiescent state using those rcu primitives while holding the
struct_mutex or it creates a circular lock dependency resulting in
kernel hangs (which is reproducible but goes undetected by lockdep).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
