drm/kms: Catch mode_object lifetime errors
uncovered a bit a mess in dp drivers. Most drivers (from a quick look,
all except i915) register all the dp stuff in their init code, which
is too early. With CONFIG_DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV this will blow up,
because drm_dp_aux_register tries to add a child to a device in sysfs
(the connector) which doesn't even exist yet.
No one seems to have cared thus far. But with the above change I also
moved the setting of dev->registered after the ->load callback, in an
attempt to keep old drivers from hitting any WARN_ON backtraces. But
that moved radeon.ko from the "working, by accident" to "now also
broken" category.
Since this is a huge mess I figured a revert would be simplest. But
this check has already caught issues in i915:

drm/i915: Do not create a new max_bpc prop for MST connectors
Hence I'd like to retain it. Fix the radeon regression by moving the
setting of dev->registered back to were it was, and stop the
backtraces with an explicit check for dev->driver->load.
Everyone else will stay as broken with CONFIG_DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV. The
next patch will improve the kerneldoc and add a todo entry for this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
