4.10-rc2 oops in DRM connector code

From: Dave Hansen

My Thinkpad x260 doesn't like to be unplugged from its dock. I don't
think this is a new bug. It's happening on my distro's 4.4 kernel
as well.

The actual oops is in device_del(). It appears to have been passed a
null 'struct device *'.

There appears to have been a race _around_ here fixed in 1f7717552e.
I've looked for and tried to find the locking that prevents
drm_connector_unregister() from being called twice concurrently. I'm
unable to find anything.

drm_dp_destroy_connector_work() has some locking that looks useful:

mutex_lock(&mgr->destroy_connector_lock)

but it's released before the offending call:

mgr->cbs->destroy_connector(mgr, port->connector);

which actually calls intel_dp_destroy_mst_connector(). I have no idea
if it's correct (and haven't even run it with lockdep), but the attached
patch does seem to fix my oopses.

Any ideas?
