    drm: locking&new iterators for connector_list

we've went to extreme lengths to make sure connector iterations works
in any context, without introducing any additional locking context.
This worked, except for a small fumble in the implementation:

When we actually race with a concurrent connector unplug event, and
our temporary connector reference turns out to be the final one, then
everything breaks: We call the connector release function from
whatever context we happen to be in, which can be an irq/atomic
context. And connector freeing grabs all kinds of locks and stuff.

Fix this by creating a specially safe put function for connetor_iter,
which (in this rare case) punts the cleanup to a worker.
