[PATCH] drm: Fix possible deadlock in drm_mode_config_cleanup()

drm_mode_config_cleanup() might be called from a workqueue context (for
example in error path handling of deferred probe), so it must not call
flush_scheduled_work(), because it would deadlock in such case. Replace
that call with explicit counting of the scheduled connector free works
and waiting until it reaches zero.

Fixes: a703c55004e1 ("drm: safely free connectors from connector_iter")
