Subject: [PATCH] drm/fb-helper: Drop locking from the vsync wait ioctl code
Git-commit: 235d3e4fa115b39a72112f29ec5c84b847111edd
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc1
References: FATE#322643 bsc#1055900

Like with the drm-native vblank wait ioctl we can entirely rely on the
spinlocks in drm_vblank.c, no need at all to take expensive mutexes.
The only reason we had to take mode_config.mutex was to protect the
fbdev helper's data-structures, but that's now done by
fb_helper->lock.
