I think leave open the race, the DP-MST modeset code itself doesn't use the 
connector->mst_port, just the detect callbacks do. In case of nonblocking 
modeset mst_port might already fall away so it's not like the race is any worse 
now.

I don't even know how to solve it, except by not unplugging. :)
