Chris Wilson 24dbf51a55 drm/i915: struct_mutex is not required for allocating the framebuffer
We do not need the BKL struct_mutex in order to allocate a GEM object,
nor to create the framebuffer, so resist the temptation to take the BKL
willy nilly. As this changes the locking contract around internal API
calls, the patch is a little larger than a plain removal of a pair of
mutex_lock/unlock.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
