struct_mutex is the guard for all drm_mm/i915_address_space, so while we
may not need it exactly in this instance, it is the current mutex to
use. I do have per-vm mutexes in the queue, it's quite scary.

Convenience. Single threaded tests that didn't want to care about the
details of struct_mutex. And then CI sets itself up in annoying ways!
