Reinstate "drm/probe-helpers: Drop locking from poll_enable""

This reverts commit 54a07c7b,
and reinstates the original.

[airlied: this might be a bad plan for git].

    drm/probe-helpers: Drop locking from poll_enable

    It was only needed to protect the connector_list walking, see

        drm/probe-helper: Grab mode_config.mutex in poll_init/enable

    Unfortunately the commit message of that patch fails to mention that
    the new locking check was for the connector_list.

    But that requirement disappeared in

        drm: Convert all helpers to drm_connector_list_iter

    and so we can drop this again.

    This fixes a locking inversion on nouveau, where the rpm code needs to
    re-enable. But in other places the rpm_get() calls are nested within
    the big modeset locks.

    While at it, also improve the kerneldoc for these two functions a
    notch.

    v2: Update the kerneldoc even more to explain that these functions
    can't be called concurrently, or bad things happen (Chris).
