Subject: [PATCH 4.4 078/138] drm/amdgpu: Disable RPM helpers while reprobing connectors on resume

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lyude <cpaul@...hat.com>

commit 23a1a9e54e71593fe5657e883662995d181d2d6b upstream.

Just about all of amdgpu's connector probing functions try to acquire
runtime PM refs. If we try to do this in the context of
amdgpu_resume_kms by calling drm_helper_hpd_irq_event(), we end up
deadlocking the system.

Since we're guaranteed to be holding the spinlock for RPM in
amdgpu_resume_kms, and we already know the GPU is in working order, we
need to prevent the RPM helpers from trying to run during the initial
connector reprobe on resume.

There's a couple of solutions I've explored for fixing this, but this
one by far seems to be the simplest and most reliable (plus I'm pretty
sure that's what disable_depth is there for anyway).

Reproduction recipe:
  - Get any laptop dual GPUs using PRIME
  - Make sure runtime PM is enabled for amdgpu
  - Boot the machine
  - If the machine managed to boot without hanging, switch out of X to
    another VT. This should definitely cause X to hang infinitely.

Changes since v1:
  - add appropriate #ifdef checks for CONFIG_PM. This is not very
    useful, but it appears some kernel test suites test compiling amdgpu
    with CONFIG_PM disabled, which results in this patch breaking the builds
    if we don't include this #ifdef
