Since drm_global_mutex is a true global mutex across devices, we don't
want to acquire it unless absolutely necessary. For maintaining the
device local open_count, we can use atomic operations on the counter
itself, except when making the transition to/from 0. Here, we tackle the
easy portion of delaying acquiring the drm_global_mutex for the final
release by using atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock(), leaving the global
serialisation across the device opens.

atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock needs pairing with mutex_unlock (you fool)

For the series:

Reviewed-by: Thomas Hellström <thellstrom@vmware.com>

Now the only remaining (though pre-existing) problem I can see is that 
there is no corresponding mutex lock in drm_open() so that firstopen 
might race with lastclose.. Or I might be missing something..

iirc, it's a complicated dance where it goes through drm_stub_open()
first which acquires the drm_global_mutex.

Now being opt-in, it is fairly limited in scope and will not randomly
break others (touch wood) and the close() racing in BAT didn't throw
anything up, so pushed to drm-misc-next. Thanks for the review and
suggestions,

Next task is to suggest others might like to use it as well.

Thanks. I'll look at doing the same for those drivers I audited.

Yeah this version looks reasonable compared to the previous few (I'm
catching up on dri-devel). I've looked at getting rid of the global_mutex,
and all I have is a simple patch with a pile of notes. It's real nasty.

This one here is a neat trick that I missed, and I'm semi-convinced it's safe :-)

My idea for the opt-in was to look at whether ->load/->unload exists. And
ofc not bother with any of this for DRIVER_LEGACY. So maybe next step
would be to define a

drm_can_noglobal()
{
	return !DRIVER_LEGACY && !->load && !->unload;
}

and inline the close helper again and see what breaks? At least from what
I've looked trying to duplicate paths and opt-in is going to be real tough
on the open side of things. Best I've done thus far is minor pushing of
the critical section.
