Add spinlock protection to avoid race condition on vblank event
between mtk_drm_crtc_atomic_begin() and mtk_drm_finish_page_flip().


Hello Jason,

Can you please provide more information about this race condition?
(check below)

...because my suspect is that what creates the race condition in this function is
the unlocked *assignment* to mtk_crtc->event, not the rest.

If I'm right, you don't need to unconditionally spinlock at the beginning of this
function hence ever-so-slightly improving performance compared to this version.

Can you please try this one and check if this *also* solves the issue?

	if (mtk_crtc_state->base.event) {
		mtk_crtc_state->base.event->pipe = drm_crtc_index(crtc);
		WARN_ON(drm_crtc_vblank_get(crtc) != 0);

		spin_lock_irqsave(&crtc->dev->event_lock, flags);
		mtk_crtc->event = mtk_crtc_state->base.event;
		spin_lock_irqrestore(&crtc->dev->event_lock, flags);

		mtk_crtc_state->base.event = NULL;
	}

P.S.: I'd try that myself, but I can't seem to reproduce the issue.

Regards,
Angelo
