I think this was true when commit 
183182235f6d ("drm/amd/display: Wrap DCN32 phantom-plane allocation in DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED")
was commited, but commit
04aa71da5f35 ("mm/vmalloc: do not trigger BUG() on BH disabled context")
changed the BUG_ON() in __get_vm_area_node():
diff --git a/mm/vmalloc.c b/mm/vmalloc.c

index c31a8615a832..bb6ae08d18f5 100644
--- a/mm/vmalloc.c
+++ b/mm/vmalloc.c
@@ -3203,7 +3203,7 @@ struct vm_struct *__get_vm_area_node(unsigned long size,
        struct vm_struct *area;
        unsigned long requested_size = size;
 
-       BUG_ON(in_interrupt());
+       BUG_ON(in_nmi() || in_hardirq());
        size = ALIGN(size, 1ul << shift);
        if (unlikely(!size))
                return NULL;

so on non-PREEMPT_RT kernels DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED is no
longer required for DCN32 phantom-plane allocation.
