Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Drop preempt_disable() in vmw_fifo_ping_host()
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc1
Git-commit: 44e5f9311cf0116635541099023ff54a86dcfb51
References: bsc#1162702
vmw_fifo_ping_host() disables preemption around a test and a register
write via vmw_write(). The write function acquires a spinlock_t typed
lock which is not allowed in a preempt_disable()ed section on
PREEMPT_RT. This has been reported in the bugzilla.
It has been explained by Thomas Hellstrom that this preempt_disable()ed
section is not required for correctness.
Remove the preempt_disable() section.
