Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Avoid potential sleep whilst holding spinlock

Miles Lane reported the following error:
2 locks held by cat/4179:
  #0:  (&p->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c10a3884>] seq_read+0x25/0x315

  [<c1002a8f>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x36

The fix is relatively simple, use the atomic variants of kmap() that
avoid the potential sleep.
