Michel Dänzer 7a1619b97e drm/radeon: Make sure CS mutex is held across GPU reset.
This was only the case if the GPU reset was triggered from the CS ioctl,
otherwise other processes could happily enter the CS ioctl and wreak havoc
during the GPU reset.

This is a little complicated because the GPU reset can be triggered from the
CS ioctl, in which case we're already holding the mutex, or from other call
paths, in which case we need to lock the mutex. AFAICT the mutex API doesn't
allow recursive locking or finding out the mutex owner, so we need to handle
this with helper functions which allow recursive locking from the same
process.

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.
