Jerome Glisse 9fc04b503d drm/radeon: avoid deadlock if GPU lockup is detected in ib_pool_get
If GPU lockup is detected in ib_pool get we are holding the ib_pool
mutex that will be needed by the GPU reset code. As ib_pool code is
safe to be reentrant from GPU reset code we should not block if we
are trying to get the ib pool lock on the behalf of the same userspace
caller, thus use the radeon_mutex_lock helper.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
