drm: gm12u320: Do not take a mutex from a wait_event condition


I made the condition of the wait_event_timeout call in
gm12u320_fb_update_work a helper which takes a mutex to make sure
that any writes to fb_update.run or fb_update.fb from other CPU cores
are seen before the check is done.

This is not necessary as the wait_event helpers contain the necessary
barriers for this themselves.

More over it is harmfull since by the time the check is done the task
is no longer in the TASK_RUNNING state and calling mutex_lock while not
in task-running is not allowed, leading to this warning when the kernel
is build with some extra locking checks enabled:

[11947.450011] do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=2 set at
               [<00000000e4306de6>] prepare_to_wait_event+0x61/0x190

This commit fixes this by dropping the helper and simply directly
checking the condition (without unnecessary locking) in the
wait_event_timeout call.
