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.

The unregister code runs as part of the client cleanup.  And the client 
also goes through a number of helpers that handle display hotplug and/or 
restore, which are affected by ->deferred_setup.  But it's all mutually 
exclusive. AFAICT nothing runs parallel to the unregister code.  See the 
use of dev->clientlist_mutex in drm_client.c.  The patch is not 
necessary IMHO.

Best regards
Thomas
