drm/i915: rework locking for intel_dpio|sbi_read|write
Spinning for up to 200 us with interrupts locked out is not good. So let's just spin (and even that seems to be excessive). And we don't call these functions from interrupt context, so this is not required. Besides that doing anything in interrupt contexts which might take a few hundred us is a no-go. So just convert the entire thing to a mutex. Also move the mutex-grabbing out of the read/write functions (add a WARN_ON(!is_locked)) instead) since all callers are nicely grouped together. Finally the real motivation for this change: Dont grab the modeset mutex in the dpio debugfs file, we don't need that consistency. And correctness of the dpio interface is ensured with the dpio_lock.
