[PATCH 4/7] drm/dp_mst: Fix down request message timeout handling

Imre Deak imre.deak at intel.com

If receiving a reply for an MST down request message times out, the
thread receiving the reply in drm_dp_mst_handle_down_rep() could try to
dereference the drm_dp_sideband_msg_tx txmsg request message after the
thread waiting for the reply - calling drm_dp_mst_wait_tx_reply() - has
timed out and freed txmsg, hence leading to a use-after-free in
drm_dp_mst_handle_down_rep().

Prevent the above by holding the drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr::qlock in
drm_dp_mst_handle_down_rep() for the whole duration txmsg is looked up
from the request list and dereferenced.
