The __i915_gem_object_put_pages() is invoked with a held reservation
lock, while freeing object is a special time when we know that GEM is
unused.

The __i915_gem_free_objects() was taking the lock two weeks ago until
the change made Chris Wilson [1] reached linux-next.

I don't think we can take the lock within
i915_gem_object_put_pages_dmabuf(), it may/should deadlock other code paths.
