This isn't the problem I think, the problem is the inversion against
master_mutex. fbdev emulation code holds master mutex while doing
modesets, whereas getconnector checks for master status while holding
a modeset mutex. I think just pulling the drm_is_current_master check
out of getconnector should be fine to break the loop here?

Wrt changing the layering here: drm_client sits on top of the
lower-level modeset interfaces. So drm_client locks should defintiely
be outside of modeset locks, not the other way round. Also I'm not
sure why you're focusing on the client lock here, that's just a lock
that sits in the middle of the chain but otherwise doesn't matter. If
you flip these these two intermediate chain links are flipped, but the
overall chain is still closed. Heck you could completely remove
client->modeset_mutex, and the bug is still the same.

Cheers, Daniel
