The function ucsi_displayport_work() does not access the
connector, so it also must not acquire the connector lock.
This fixes a potential deadlock scenario:
ucsi_displayport_work() -> lock(&con->lock)
typec_altmode_vdm()
dp_altmode_vdm()
dp_altmode_work()
typec_altmode_enter()
ucsi_displayport_enter() -> lock(&con->lock)
