Revert "drm/imx: Annotate dma-fence critical section in commit path"
[ Upstream commit 14d9a37c952588930d7226953359fea3ab956d39 ]
This reverts commit f4b34faa08428d813fc3629f882c503487f94a12.
Since commit f4b34faa0842 ("drm/imx: Annotate dma-fence critical section in
commit path") the following possible circular dependency is detected:
[ 5.001811] ======================================================
[ 5.001817] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
[ 5.001824] 5.14.9-01225-g45da36cc6fcc-dirty #1 Tainted: G W
[ 5.001833] ------------------------------------------------------
[ 5.001838] kworker/u8:0/7 is trying to acquire lock:

[ 5.001903] but task is already holding lock:

[ 5.001957]
[ 5.001957] which lock already depends on the new lock.

Revert it for now.
Tested on a imx6q-sabresd.
