Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 126/165] drm/vmwgfx: Fix a couple of lock dependency violations

3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@...are.com>

commit 5151adb37a5918957f4c33a8d8e7629c0fb00563 upstream.

Experimental lockdep annotation added to the TTM lock has unveiled a
couple of lock dependency violations in the vmwgfx driver. In both
cases it turns out that the device_private::reservation_sem is not
needed so the offending code is moved out of that lock.
