    drm: Use lockmgr locks with Linux wait queues
    
    * On Linux, it is possible to grab a second spinlock in an already
      spinlock-protected code section.
    
    * The wait_event() macro is used in such a situation in the i915 driver.
      One of the event checks itself tries to grab a second lock. What's more,
      this second lock is a lockmgr lock in the DragonFly kernel. This results
      in the following situation:
    
        spinlock
        lockmgr LK_EXCLUSIVE
        spinunlock
    
    * Unfortunately if the lockmgr lock can't be acquired, the thread is put
      to sleep and a thread sleeping with a spinlock held leads to a general
      system freeze or a kernel panic.
    
    * For that reason, we can't use a spinlock in Linux wait queues. Change
      the internal wait_queue_head_t lock to a lockmgr lock.
    
    Thanks go to Imre Vadász for spotting this horrible issue.
