drm: Hold the mode mutex whilst probing for sysfs status
As detect will use hw registers and may modify structures, it needs to be
serialised by use of the dev->mode_config.mutex. Make it so.
Otherwise, we may cause random crashes as the sysfs file is queried
whilst a concurrent hotplug poll is being run. For example:
