Subject: drm/cirrus: do not attempt to acquire a reservation while in an
 interrupt handler

commit 19d4b72c0c22c14900313f89765c5f7ef0a2718a upstream.

Mutexes should not be acquired in interrupt context. While the trylock
fastpath is arguably safe on all implementations, the slowpath
unlock path definitely isn't. This fixes the following lockdep splat:
