In the fbdev code we want to do trylocks only to avoid deadlocks and other ugly issues. Thus far we've only grabbed the overall modeset lock, but that already failed to exclude a pile of potential concurrent operations. With proper atomic support this will be worse. So add a trylock mode to the modeset locking code which attempts all locks only with trylocks, if possible. We need to track this in the locking functions themselves and can't restrict this to drivers since driver-private w/w mutexes must be treated the same way. There's still the issue that other driver private locks aren't handled here at all, but well can't have everything. With this we will at least not regress, even once atomic allows lots of concurrent kms activity. Aside: We should move the acquire context to stack-based allocation in the callers to get rid of that awful WARN_ON(kmalloc_failed) control flow which just blows up when memory is short. But that's material for separate patches. v2: - Fix logic inversion fumble in the fb helper. - Add proper kerneldoc.
