Subject: [PATCH RT 4/6] drm/i915: Dont disable interrupts independently of the lock

4.19.37-rt20-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

The locks (timeline->lock and rq->lock) need to be taken with disabled
interrupts. This is done in __retire_engine_request() by disabling the
interrupts independently of the locks itself.
While local_irq_disable()+spin_lock() equals spin_lock_irq() on vanilla
it does not on RT. Also, it is not obvious if there is a special reason
to why the interrupts are disabled independently of the lock.

Enable/disable interrupts as part of the locking instruction.
