Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Don't kill clients on VT switch
From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c4249855ac5b2a383704d31e040d3831d6a25c6f upstream.
DRI clients that tried to grab the TTM lock when the master (X server) was
switched away during a VT switch were sent the SIGTERM signal by the
kernel. Fix this so that they are only sent that signal when the master has
exited.
