drm: fix race between driver loading and userspace open.
Not 100% sure this is due to BKL removal, its most likely a combination of that + userspace timing changes in udev/plymouth. The drm adds the sysfs device before the driver has completed internal loading, this causes udev to make the node and plymouth to open it before we've completed loading. The proper solution is to delay the sysfs manipulation until later in loading however this causes knock on issues with sysfs connector nodes, so we can use the global mutex to serialise loading and userspace opens.
