Subject: 'sleeping function called from invalid context' in virtio_gpu_cmd_get_edid_cb

Hello,

I get the following warning during v5.1-rc3 bootup on QEMU with virtio-gpu-pci

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:418
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 14, name: kworker/0:1
Preemption disabled at:

Looks like virtio_gpu_cmd_get_edid_cb calls
drm_connector_update_edid_property under the spinlock and the
latter function may sleep.

Thanks.
