[PATCH] drm/fb-helper: Try to protect cleanup against delayed setup

Some vague evidences suggests this can go wrong. Try to prevent it by
holding the right mutex and clearing ->deferred_setup to make sure we
later on don't accidentally try to re-register the fbdev when the
driver thought it had it all cleaned up already.

v2: I realized that this is fundamentally butchered, and CI complained
about lockdep splats. So limit the critical section again and just add
a few notes what the proper fix is.
