Merge branch 'ttm-prot-fix' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~thomash/linux into drm-next
A small fix for the long-standing ttm vm page protection hack. Sent as a separate PR as it touches mm, has all acks in place. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> From: Thomas Hellström (VMware) <thellstrom@vmware.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200116102411.3056-1-thomas_os@shipmail.org
