Subject: [PATCH 4.9 1/7] drm/msm/rd: Fix FIFO-full deadlock

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@...omium.org>

[ Upstream commit 174974d8463b77c2b4065e98513adb204e64de7d ]

If the previous thing cat'ing $debugfs/rd left the FIFO full, then
subsequent open could deadlock in rd_write() (because open is blocked,
not giving a chance for read() to consume any data in the FIFO).  Also
it is generally a good idea to clear out old data from the FIFO.
