It turns out that this breaks PM-suspend operations on preempt-rt, on
multiple versions, due to all the linux-stable backports.  This happens
because the uncore->lock is now used in atomic contexts.

As the uncore->lock is widely used, conversion to a raw lock seems
inappropriate at 1st glance, and hence some alternate solution will
likely be required.

Below is an example of the regression on v5.15-rt, with backport:

    drm/i915/gt: Serialize GRDOM access between multiple engine resets
        
    [ Upstream commit b24dcf1dc507f69ed3b5c66c2b6a0209ae80d4d4 ]
	        
Reverting the engine reset serialization change avoids the PM-suspend
regression and is a temporary workaround for -rt users, but of course
leaves this original TLB issue exposed.
