Subject: drm/ttm: Fixed a read/write lock imbalance

commit 025af189fb44250206dd8a32fa4a682392af3301 upstream.

In ttm_write_lock(), the uninterruptible path should call
__ttm_write_lock() not __ttm_read_lock().  This fixes a vmwgfx hang
on F23 start up.

syeh: Extracted this from one of Thomas' internal patches.
