Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Fix an incorrect lock check

From: Thomas Hellstrom <[email protected]>

commit fb89ac5102ae2875d685c847e6b5dbc141622d43 upstream.

With CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y the vmwgfx kernel module would unconditionally throw a bug when checking for a held spinlock in the command buffer code. Fix this by using a lockdep check.
