drm/i915: Fix potential AB-BA deadlock in i915_gem_execbuffer()

Lockdep warns that i915_gem_execbuffer() can trigger a page fault (which
takes mmap_sem) while holding dev->struct_mutex, while drm_vm_open()
(which is called with mmap_sem already held) takes dev->struct_mutex.
So this is a potential AB-BA deadlock.

The way that i915_gem_execbuffer() triggers a page fault is by doing
copy_to_user() when returning new buffer offsets back to userspace;
however there is no reason to hold the struct_mutex when doing this
copy, since what is being copied is the contents of an array private to
i915_gem_execbuffer() anyway.  So we can fix the potential deadlock (and
get rid of the lockdep warning) by simply moving the copy_to_user()
outside of where struct_mutex is held.

This fixes <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12491>.
