What I forgot to add: The mutex seems surplus and could probably be
removed. But we need the mutex once this infra is extracted to other drm
things like connector/crtc debugfs files, because you can hotplug
connectors. But maybe the mutex isn't even need in that case (since for a
single object you still should not multi-thread anything).
So removing the mutex here seems like a reasonable thing to do, but
funamentally the list and the entire delayed debugfs setup must stay.
Otherwise we cannot remove the entire debugfs_init midlayer mess without
creating huge amounts of driver bugs in the init sequencing.
