Chris Wilson 752d2635eb drm: Take lock around probes for drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event
We need to hold the dev->mode_config.mutex whilst detecting the output
status. But we also need to drop it for the call into
drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe(), which indirectly acquires the lock when
attaching the fbcon.

Failure to do so exposes a race with normal output probing. Detected by
adding some warnings that the mutex is held to the backend detect routines:

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
