drm: fix quiescent locking

A fix for a locking bug which is triggered when a client tries to lock with
flag DMA_QUIESCENT (typically the X server), but gets interrupted by a signal.
The locking IOCTL should then return an error, but if DMA_QUIESCENT succeeds
it returns 0, and the client falsely thinks it has the lock. In addition
The client waits for DMA_QUISCENT and possibly DMA_READY without having the lock.
