The uncore code may not always be available (e.g. when we build the
display code with Xe), so we can't always rely on having the uncore's
spinlock.

To handle this, split the spin_lock/unlock_irqsave/restore() into
spin_lock/unlock() followed by a call to local_irq_save/restore() and
create wrapper functions for locking and unlocking the uncore's
spinlock.  In these functions, we have a condition check and only
actually try to lock/unlock the spinlock when I915 is defined, and
thus uncore is available.

This keeps the ifdefs contained in these new functions and all such
logic inside the display code.

In v2:

     * Renamed uncore_spin_*() to intel_spin_*()
     * Corrected the order: save, lock, unlock, restore

In v3:

     * Undid the change to pass drm_i915_private instead of the lock
       itself, since we would have to include i915_drv.h and that pulls
       in a truckload of other includes.

In v4:

     * After a brief attempt to replace this with a different patch,
       we're back to this one;
     * Pass drm_i195_private again, and move the functions to
       intel_vblank.c, so we don't need to include i915_drv.h in a
       header file and it's already included in intel_vblank.c;

In v5:

     * Remove stray include in intel_display.h;
     * Remove unnecessary inline modifiers in the new functions.

In v6:

     * Just removed the umlauts from Ville's name, because patchwork
       didn't catch my patch and I suspect it was some UTF-8 confusion.

Shouldn't local_irq_save go into intel_vblank_section_enter()? It seems
all callers from both i915 and xe end up doing that anyway and naming
"vblank_start" was presumed there would be more to the section than
cacheline mmio bug. I mean that there is some benefit from keeping the
readout timings tight.


The reason is that there is one caller that has already disabled
interrupts when this function is called (see below), so we shouldn't do
it again.

Yeah I saw that but with irqsave/restore it is safe to nest. So for me it is more a fundamental question which I raise above.

Regards,

Tvrtko
