[PATCH v1 2/2] drm/msm/dp: add mutex to protect internal_hpd against race condition between different threads

[Kuogee Hsieh]

internal_hpd is referenced at both plug and unplug handle.

The majority purpose of  mutext is try to serialize internal_hpd between 
dp_bridge_hpd_disable() and either plug or unplug handle.
