The MSM pretty much isn't touched by this patchset, apart from the minor
common shrinker fix. Moving whole MSM to use drm_shmem should be a big
change to the driver.

The Panfrost and VirtIO-GPU drivers already got the acks. I also tested
the Lima driver, which uses drm-shmem helpers. Other DRM drivers should
be unaffected by this series.

The locking conversion is mostly a straightforward replacement of mutex
with resv lock for drm-shmem. The dma-buf rules were tricky, another
tricky part was fixing the lockdep warning for the bogus report of
fs_reclaim vs GEM shrinker at the GEM destroy time where I borrowed the
drm_gem_shmem_resv_assert_held() solution from the MSM driver where Rob
had a similar issue.

That will be great. Was waiting for Thomas to ack the shmem patches
since he reviewed the previous versions, but if you or anyone else could
ack them, then will be good too. Thanks!
