We have plenty of global registers and whatnot programmed without any further locking by the modeset code. Currently non-bocking modesets are allowed to execute in parallel which could corrupt said registers. To avoid the problem let's run all non-blocking modesets on an ordered workqueue. We still put page flips etc. to system_unbound_wq allowing page flips on one pipe to execute in parallel with page flips or a modeset on a another pipe (assuming no known state is shared between them, at which point they would have been added to the same atomic commit and serialized that way). Blocking modesets are already serialized with each other by connection_mutex, and thus are safe. To serialize them with non-blocking modesets we just flush the workqueue before executing blocking modesets.
