Ken Xue 461fa7b0ac drm/amdgpu: remove ctx->lock
KMD reports a warning on holding a lock from drm_syncobj_find_fence,
when running amdgpu_test case “syncobj timeline test”.

ctx->lock was designed to prevent concurrent "amdgpu_ctx_wait_prev_fence"
calls and avoid dead reservation lock from GPU reset. since no reservation
lock is held in latest GPU reset any more, ctx->lock can be simply removed
and concurrent "amdgpu_ctx_wait_prev_fence" call also can be prevented by
PD root bo reservation lock.

call stacks:
=================
//hold lock
amdgpu_cs_ioctl->amdgpu_cs_parser_init->mutex_lock(&parser->ctx->lock);
…
//report warning
amdgpu_cs_dependencies->amdgpu_cs_process_syncobj_timeline_in_dep \
->amdgpu_syncobj_lookup_and_add_to_sync -> drm_syncobj_find_fence \
-> lockdep_assert_none_held_once
…
amdgpu_cs_ioctl->amdgpu_cs_parser_fini->mutex_unlock(&parser->ctx->lock);

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.
