Maybe this helps. The two locations where the lock is grabbed are from 
the same commit (see below).

     drm/nouveau: port all engines to new engine module format

     This is a HUGE commit, but it's not nearly as bad as it looks - any 
problems
     can be isolated to a particular chipset and engine combination.  It was
     simply too difficult to port each one at a time, the compat layers are
     *already* ridiculous.

     Most of the changes here are simply to the glue, the process for 
each of the
     engine modules was to start with a standard skeleton and copy+paste 
the old
     code into the appropriate places, fixing up variable names etc as 
needed.

     v2: Marcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@...il.com>
     - fix find/replace bug in license header

     v3: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@...hat.com>
     - bump indirect pushbuf size to 8KiB, 4KiB barely enough for 
userspace and
       left no space for kernel's requirements during GEM pushbuf 
submission.
     - fix duplicate assignments noticed by clang

     v4: Marcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@...il.com>
     - add sparse annotations to nv04_fifo_pause/nv04_fifo_start
     - use ioread32_native/iowrite32_native for fifo control registers

     v5: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@...hat.com>
     - rebase on v3.6-rc4, modified to keep copy engine fix intact
     - nv10/fence: unmap fence bo before destroying
     - fixed fermi regression when using nvidia gr fuc
     - fixed typo in supported dma_mask checking
