I'd like to amend my reviewed by and say the lock shouldn't be held
around the call to the drm helper function.  It queues some work that
also takes the mode config lock, which will break.  So you can drop it
before that...  Previously I had only checked our internal driver
callbacks but missed that the lock was held across the helper too.
