Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Hold struct_mutex during hotplug processing

Hotplug detection is a mode setting operation and must hold the
struct_mutex or risk colliding with other mode setting operations.

In particular, the display port hotplug function attempts to re-train
the link if the monitor is supposed to be running when plugged back
in. If that happens while mode setting is underway, the link will get
scrambled, leaving it in an inconsistent state.
