Re: [PATCH v2] drm/panic: Fix uninitialized spinlock acquisition with CONFIG_DRM_PANIC=n

[Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>]

Eek - sorry, I had already pushed this since it had been reviewed a while ago
and I just forgot to push it afterwards. This being said though - I'm a little
confused here myself. This is correct - drm_client_register was getting called
too early, I wonder if I ran into this before I had moved around the order of
stuff in the KMS init stuff for rust. I will check today and if it fixes the
issue, I'll look at just sending out a revert for review.
