From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3eadd887dbac1df8f25f701e5d404d1b90fd0fea upstream.
The modes[] array contains pointers to modes on the connectors'
mode lists, which are protected by dev->mode_config.mutex.
Thus we need to extend modes[] the same protection or by the
time we use it the elements may already be pointing to
freed/reused memory.
