drm: don't hold crtc mutexes for connector ->detect callbacks
The coup de grace of the entire journey. No more dropped frames every
10s on my testbox!
I've tried to audit all ->detect and ->get_modes callbacks, but things
became a bit fuzzy after trying to piece together the umpteenth
implemenation. Afaict most drivers just have bog-standard output
register frobbing with a notch of i2c edid reading, nothing which
could potentially race with the newly concurrent pageflip/set_cursor
code. The big exception is load-detection code which requires a
running pipe, but radeon/nouveau seem to to this without touching any
state which can be observed from page_flip (e.g. disabled crtcs
temporarily getting enabled and so a pageflip succeeding).
The only special case I could find is the i915 load detect code. That
uses the normal modeset interface to enable the load-detect crtc, and
so userspace could try to squeeze in a pageflip on the load-detect
pipe. So we need to grab the relevant crtc mutex in there, to avoid
the temporary crtc enabling to sneak out and be visible to userspace.
Note that the sysfs files already stopped grabbing the per-crtc locks,
since I didn't want to bother with doing a interruptible
modeset_lock_all. But since there's very little in-between breakage
(essentially just the ability for userspace to pageflip on load-detect
crtcs when it shouldn't on the i915 driver) I figured I don't need to
bother.
