Move drm_fb_helper_unprepare() from drm_fb_helper_fini() into the
calling fbdev implementation. Avoids a possible stale mutex with
generic fbdev code.

As indicated by its name, drm_fb_helper_prepare() prepares struct
drm_fb_helper before setting up the fbdev support with a call to
drm_fb_helper_init(). In legacy fbdev emulation, this happens next
to each other. If successful, drm_fb_helper_fini() later tear down
the fbdev device and also unprepare via drm_fb_helper_unprepare().

Generic fbdev emulation prepares struct drm_fb_helper immediately
after allocating the instance. It only calls drm_fb_helper_init()
as part of processing a hotplug event. If the hotplug-handling fails,
it runs drm_fb_helper_fini(). This unprepares the fb-helper instance
and the next hotplug event runs on stale data.

Solve this by moving drm_fb_helper_unprepare() from drm_fb_helper_fini()
into the fbdev implementations. Call it right before freeing the
fb-helper instance.

Fixes: 4825797c36da ("drm/fb-helper: Introduce drm_fb_helper_unprepare()")

I think this should be Fixes: 032116bbe152 ("drm/fbdev-generic: Minimize
client unregistering") instead? Because commit 4825797c36da just added a
wrapper function for mutex_destroy(&fb_helper->lock), but it was commit
032116bbe152 that made drm_fbdev_cleanup() to call that helper function.

Good point. After looking through the recent fbdev commits, I'll use commit 643231b28380 ("drm/fbdev-generic: Minimize hotplug error handling") for the tag. This is the one that added the call to drm_fb_helper_fini() to the client's hotplug handler. And _fini() currently does the _unprepare(), when it shouldn't.
