Some lower level things get angry if we don't have modeset locks during intel_modeset_setup_hw_state(). Actually the resume and lid_notify codepaths alreday hold the locks, but the init codepath doesn't, so fix that. Note: This slipped through since we only disable pipes if the plane/pipe linking doesn't match. Which is only relevant on older gen3 mobile machines, if the BIOS fails to set up our preferred linking.
