We already teach lockdep that dma_resv nests within drm_modeset_lock,
but there's a lot more: All drm kms ioctl rely on being able to
put/get_user while holding modeset locks, so we really need a
might_fault in there too to complete the picture. Add it.

Mhm, lockdep should be able to deduce that when there might be faults under the dma_resv lock there might also be faults under the drm_modeset_lock.


Motivated by a syzbot report that blew up on bcachefs doing an
unconditional console_lock way deep in the locking hierarchy, and
lockdep only noticing the depency loop in a drm ioctl instead of much
earlier. This annotation will make sure such issues have a much harder
time escaping.

On the other hand pointing it out explicitly doesn't hurts us at all, so Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx>.
