drm/i915: don't clobber userspace memory before commiting to the pread
The pagemap.h prefault helpers do the prefaulting by simply writing
some data into every page. Hence we should not prefault when we're not
yet commited to to actually writing data to userspace. The problem is
now that
- we can't prefault while holding dev->struct_mutex for we could
deadlock with our own pagefault handler
- we need to grab dev->struct_mutex before copying to sync up with any
outsanding gpu writes.
Therefore only prefault when we're dropping the lock the first time in
the pread slowpath - at that point we're committed to the write, don't
wait on the gpu anymore and hence won't return early (with e.g.
-EINTR).
