drm/i915/gem: Clean-up outdated struct_mutex comments
The struct_mutex will be removed from the DRM subsystem, as it was a
legacy BKL that was only used by i915 driver. After review, it was
concluded that its usage was no longer necessary

This patch updates various comments in the i915/gem and i915/gt
codebase to either remove or clarify references to struct_mutex, in
order to prevent future misunderstandings.

* i915_gem_execbuffer.c: Replace reference to struct_mutex with
  vm->mutex, as noted in the eb_reserve() function, which states that
  vm->mutex handles deadlocks.
* i915_gem_object.c: Change struct_mutex by
  drm_i915_gem_object->vma.lock. i915_gem_object_unbind() in i915_gem.c
  states that this lock is who actually protects the unbind.
* i915_gem_shrinker.c: The correct lock is actually i915->mm.obj, as
  already documented in its declaration.
* i915_gem_wait.c: The existing comment already mentioned that
  struct_mutex was no longer necessary. Updated to refer to a generic
  global lock instead.
* intel_reset_types.h: Cleaned up the comment text. Updated to refer to
  a generic global lock instead.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
