Yes, that's hit me too, on mmotm on i915.  i915_gem_shrinker_lock()
is broken: but copy the pattern from msm_gem_shrinker_lock() and it's
okay - patch below.  Well, okay-ish: I'm reluctant to sign off on that
as more than a quick fix for i915 linux-next users, since the unlock
variable and those _gem_shrinker_lock() wrappers should just be deleted
(if the mutex trickery is indeed to be killed).

And I'm still left with a "sleeping function called from invalid context"
warning, which seems easier to live with: I've not looked to see whether
that's a consequence of the mutex trickery killage or something else.
