[PATCH 3/3] drm: Protect fb_helper list manipulation with a mutex

[Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Though we only walk the kernel_fb_helper_list inside a panic (or single
thread debugging), we still need to protect the list manipulation on
creating/removing a framebuffer device in order to prevent list
corruption.
