The real trouble is the drm_for_each_connector in
drm_connector_register_all(). This introduced the new depency. The proper
fix imo is to fix up the connector_list locking, but for 4.8 we could do
the same hack+comment like we do in unregister_all. It's not the only
place that's broken anyway, and much less invasive than this here.

If someone confirms I'll bake it into a real patch.
