Historically we've run our own driver hotplug handling in our own
work-queue, which then launched the drm core hotplug handling in the
system workqueue. This is important since we flush our own driver
workqueue in the pageflip code while hodling modeset locks, and only
the drm hotplug code grabbed these locks. But with

there's a hotplug work blocking the progress of the crucial unpin
works. So this broke the careful deadlock avoidance implemented in

Since the rule thus far has been that work items on our own workqueue
may never grab modeset locks simply restore that rule again.

Requested after-the-fact by Chris on irc since the hpd work isn't the
