kworker/1:0/18 is trying to acquire lock:
00000000c832f62d (&helper->lock){+.+.}, at: drm_fb_helper_add_one_connector+0x2a/0x60 [drm_kms_helper]

but task is already holding lock:
00000000942e28e2 (crtc_ww_class_mutex){+.+.}, at: drm_modeset_backoff+0x8e/0x1c0 [drm]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

Taking example from i915, the only time we need to hold any modesetting
locks is when changing the port on the mstc, and in that case we only
need to hold the connection mutex.
