This is just ugly, you're adding a mutex to every drm_info_node, but only
use the one embedded into the minor. On a quick grep we're only ever using
the list in there, so I suggest to
- replace minor->debugfs_node.list with minor->debugfs_list and kill
  ->debugfs_node
- add the mutex as minor->debugfs_lock
That way it's clear what's going on.

Also, you've forgotten to add the locking to i915/i915_debugfs.c

Yours, Daniel
