drm/i915: Avoid reset lock in writing fence registers

The idea of taking the reset lock around writing the fence register was
to serialise the mmio write we also perform during the reset where those
registers get clobbered. However, the lock is overkill as write tearing
between reset and fence_update() is harmless; the final value of the
fence register is the same. A race between revoke_fences() and
fence_update() is also harmless at this point as on the fault path where
this is necessary, we acquire the reset lock to coordinate ourselves in
the upper layer.

The danger of acquiring the reset lock again in fence_update() is that
we may recurse from the shrinker along the i915_gem_fault() path.
