Subject: [PATCH 319/353] drm/vmwgfx: Drop preempt_disable() in
 vmw_fifo_ping_host()
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=2f107a5eebc442d3abe193fb416437b74dc6493f

[ Upstream commit b901491e7b9b7a676818d84e482b69be72fc142f ]

vmw_fifo_ping_host() disables preemption around a test and a register
write via vmw_write(). The write function acquires a spinlock_t typed
lock which is not allowed in a preempt_disable()ed section on
PREEMPT_RT. This has been reported in the bugzilla.

It has been explained by Thomas Hellstrom that this preempt_disable()ed
section is not required for correctness.

Remove the preempt_disable() section.
