Subject: [PATCH] drm: fb helper should avoid sleeping in panic context

From: Rui Wang <rui.y.wang@...el.com>

There are still some places in the fb helper that need to avoid
sleeping in panic context. Here's an example:

There's __drm_modeset_lock_all() which Daniel Vetter introduced for this
purpose. We can leverage that without reinventing anything. This patch
works with the latest kernel.

Dave: I don't see this in any of your trees yet. Bug is really annoying
when testing machine check code because the above stack dumps just repeat
endlessly until I manually hit the reset button
