Subject: [PATCH 5.16 022/285] drm/amdkfd: Dont take process mutex for svm ioctls

From: Philip Yang <Philip.Yang@....com>

[ Upstream commit ac7c48c0cce00d03b3c95fddcccb0a45257e33e3 ]

SVM ioctls take proper svms->lock to handle race conditions, don't need
take process mutex to serialize ioctls. This also fixes circular locking
warning:

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock((work_completion)(&svms->deferred_list_work));
                                lock(&process->mutex);
                     lock((work_completion)(&svms->deferred_list_work));
   lock(&process->mutex);

   *** DEADLOCK ***
