Subject: [RFC 04/17] drm/cgroup: Allow safe external access to file_priv

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@...el.com>

Entry points from the cgroup subsystem into the drm cgroup controller will
need to walk the file_priv structures associated with registered clients
and since those are not RCU protected lets add a hack for now to make this
safe.
