    drm/fb_helper: Fix references to dev->mode_config.num_connector · c5b424e7

    commit 255f0e7c upstream.
    
    During boot, MST hotplugs are generally expected (even if no physical
    hotplugging occurs) and result in DRM's connector topology changing.
    This means that using num_connector from the current mode configuration
    can lead to the number of connectors changing under us. This can lead to
    some nasty scenarios in fbcon:
    
    - We allocate an array to the size of dev->mode_config.num_connectors.
    - MST hotplug occurs, dev->mode_config.num_connectors gets incremented.
    - We try to loop through each element in the array using the new value
      of dev->mode_config.num_connectors, and end up going out of bounds
      since dev->mode_config.num_connectors is now larger then the array we
      allocated.
    
    fb_helper->connector_count however, will always remain consistent while
    we do a modeset in fb_helper.
    
    Note: This is just polish for 4.7, Dave Airlie's drm_connector
    refcounting fixed these bugs for real. But it's good enough duct-tape
    for stable kernel backporting, since backporting the refcounting
    changes is way too invasive.

    [danvet: Clarify why we need this. Also remove the now unused "dev"
    local variable to appease gcc.]
