[PATCH 3/7] drm/bridge: lock the encoder bridge chain mutex during insertion

[Luca Ceresoli]

drm_bridge_attach() modifies the encoder bridge chain, so take a mutex
around such operations to allow users of the chain to protect themselves
from chain modifications while iterating.

This change does not apply to drm_bridge_detach() because:
 * only the drm_encoder.c calls it, not bridge drivers (unlike
   drm_bridge_attach())
 * the only drm_bridge_detach() caller is drm_encoder_cleanup() which
   already locks the mutex for the entire cleanup loop, thus additionally
   locking it here would deadlock
 * drm_bridge_detach() is recursively calling itself along the chain, so
   care would be needed to avoid deadlocks
Add a comment to clarify that is intended.
