The point of the complexity is to be able to grab the mmap_sem avoiding
any locking dependencies that would normally occur if it were done in
the ioctl.

However, drm locking has changed quite a bit over the last year, and
this is probably not be needed anymore - I assume that Lucas has
thoroughly verified the locking dependencies.  However, I notice i915
still retains this code though.
