Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm/mdp5: Fix global state lock backoff

We need to grab the lock after the early return for !hwpipe case. Otherwise, we could have hit contention yet still returned 0.

Fixes an issue that the new CONFIG_DRM_DEBUG_MODESET_LOCK stuff flagged in CI:
