[PATCH] drm: fix another race due to BKL removal.

From: Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com>

Since module loading was happening under the BKL, and the drm open path took
the BKL you couldn't race between them. The drm adds the sysfs node before it
really probably should, i.e. before driver load has completed. Then udev
creates the device node, and plymouth opens the device before we've completed
loading the driver. This results in fail.

Fix this now by taking the global mutex around the driver loading procedure,
which seems like the lesser of two evils patch to fix the regression.
