[PATCH 3.12 081/146] drm/nouveau/pm/fan: drop the fan lock in fan_update() before rescheduling

From: Martin Peres <martin.peres@labri.fr>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 61679fe153b2b9ea5b5e2ab93305419e85e99a9d upstream.

This should fix a deadlock that has been reported to us where fan_update()
would hold the fan lock and try to grab the alarm_program_lock to reschedule
an update. On an other CPU, the alarm_program_lock would have been taken
before calling fan_update(), leading to a deadlock.

We should Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.9+
