drm/i915: Avoid might_fault during pwrite whilst holding our mutex
... and so prevent a potential circular reference:
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.37-rc1-uwe1+ #4
-------------------------------------------------------
Xorg/1401 is trying to acquire lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c01e4ddb>] might_fault+0x4b/0xa0
but task is already holding lock:
(&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<f869c3ac>]
i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x3c/0x60 [i915]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
When the locking around the pwrite ioctl was simplified, I did not spot
that the phys path never took any locks and so we introduced this
potential circular reference.
