You get the warn when they're *not* held. And checking for the
mode_config.mutex here looks like a bug. We call that during a modeset,
so if we get there through the atomic ioctl as opposed to a legacy
setcrtc we will not be holding the mode_config.mutex.

Walking the connector list with just the connection mutex should be safe
in theory. Although last I looked it was still racy as hell, but as I
said, in theory.

We could probably drop the connector list walk from there entirely since
we should know exactly which connector's eld we want.
