drm: Hold the mode mutex whilst probing for sysfs status

Browse Source 
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:
