This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

Bug description:
  This bug go the code path
  drvers/gpu/drm/{drm_prime.c,drm_gem.c}

  drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle()
  | mutex_lock(&file_priv->prime.lock);
  | drm_gem_handle_create_tail()
  | | dev->driver->gem_open_object() (for amdgpu.ko driver, this is amdgpu_gem_object_open)
  | | drm_gem_handle_delete()
  | | | drm_gem_remove_prime_handles()
  | | | | mutex_lock(&filp->prime.lock);

  This causes the dead lock if gem_open_object() return with error.
