I just checked and turns out no one else is using "drm_modeset_lock_all()"
anymore.

The only reference is the definition of the function itself, which I did not
remove because it was being EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed and I was not sure whether it could
be removed or not (to prevent breaking third party modules maybe?)

The same goes true for its sibling "dmr_modeset_unlock_all()".

But if you give me the green light I'll remove both of them right away :)
