Protect updates of struct i915_vma flags and async binding / unbinding with the vm::mutex. This means that i915_vma_bind() needs to assert vm::mutex held. In order to make that possible drop the caching of kmap_atomic() maps around i915_vma_bind(). An alternative would be to use kmap_local() but since we block cpu unplugging during sleeps inside kmap_local() sections this may have unwanted side-effects. Particularly since we might wait for gpu while holding the vm mutex. This change may theoretically increase execbuf cpu-usage on snb, but at least on non-highmem systems that increase should be very small.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
