drm: Remove utterly bogus preempt_disable() sections
commit 27641c3f (drm/vblank: Add support for precise vblank
timestamping) adds preempt_disable()/enable() around a spin locked
section with the comments:
* Disable preemption, so vblank_time_lock is held as short as
* possible, even under a kernel with PREEMPT_RT patches.
/* Disable preemption while holding vblank_time_lock. Do
* it explicitely to guard against PREEMPT_RT kernel.
Just that this has never been tested on a RT kernel which would have
granted that nonsense with a might_sleep() warning because
dev->vblank_time_lock is converted to a "sleeping" spinlock on RT.
So this is activly wrong on RT and superflous on mainline. Remove it.
