Subject: [PATCH 7/7] drm/bridge: prevent encoder chain changes while
 iterating in drm_atomic_bridge_chain_post_disable/pre_enable()

Take the encoder chain mutex while iterating over the encoder chain in
drm_atomic_bridge_chain_pre_enable() and
drm_atomic_bridge_chain_post-disable().

These functions have nested list_for_each_*() loops, which makes them
complicated. list_for_each_entry_from() loops could be replaced by
drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain_from(), but it would not work in a nested
way. Besides, there is no "_reverse" variant of
drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain_from().

Keep code simple and readable by explicitly locking around the outer
loop. Thankfully there are no return points inside the loops, so the change
is trivial and readable.
