msm: mdss: Avoid deadlock in interrupt handler
Reduce the locking scope in irq_dispatch so that mdss_lock is not held when the irq_handler is dispatched. The dispatched irq_handler will try to acquire mdp_lock but another active process can already have mdp_lock and tries to procure mdss_lock creating a deadlock situation. Not locking with mdss_lock is acceptable as the calls will be synchronized through mdp_lock from MDP clients.
