drm/i915: relative_constants_mode race fix
dev_priv keeps track of the current addressing mode that gets set at execbuffer time. Unfortunately the existing code was doing this before acquiring struct_mutex which leaves a race with another thread also doing an execbuffer. If that wasn't bad enough, relocate_slow drops struct_mutex which opens a much more likely error where another thread comes in and modifies the state while relocate_slow is being slow. The solution here is to just defer setting this state until we absolutely need it, and we know we'll have struct_mutex for the remainder of our code path. v2: Keith noticed a bug in the original patch.
