Subject: [PATCH 154/270] drm/i915: remove useless BUG_ON which caused a regression in 3.5.

3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Willy Tarreau <w@....eu>

commit c77d7162a7ae451c2e895d7ef7fbeb0906107472 upstream.

starting an old X server causes a kernel BUG since commit 1b50247a8d:

The crash happens here in i915_gem_entervt_ioctl() :

    3659          BUG_ON(!list_empty(&dev_priv->mm.active_list));
    3660          BUG_ON(!list_empty(&dev_priv->mm.flushing_list));
 -> 3661          BUG_ON(!list_empty(&dev_priv->mm.inactive_list));
    3662          mutex_unlock(&dev->struct_mutex);

Quoting Chris :
  "That BUG_ON there is silly and can simply be removed. The check is to
   verify that no batches were submitted to the kernel whilst the UMS/GEM
   client was suspended - to which the BUG_ONs are a crude approximation.
   Furthermore, the checks are too late, since it means we attempted to
   program the hardware whilst it was in an invalid state, the BUG_ONs are
   the least of your concerns at that point."

Note that this regression has been introduced in
