drm/atomic: Paper over locking WARN in default_state_clear
In commit 6f75cea6 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Wed Nov 19 18:38:07 2014 +0100 drm/atomic: Only destroy connector states with connection mutex held I tried to fix races of atomic commits against connector hot-unplugging. The idea is to ensure lifetimes by holding the connection_mutex long enough. That works for synchronous commits, but not for async ones. For async atomic commit we really need to fix up connector lifetimes for real. But that's a much bigger task, so just add more duct-tape: For cleaning up connector states we currently don't need the connector itself. So NULL it out and remove the locking check. Of course that check was to protect the entire sequence, but the modeset itself should be save since currently DP MST hot-removal does a dpms-off. And that should synchronize with any outstanding async atomic commit. Or at least that's my hope, this is all a giant mess.
