The function ucsi_displayport_work() does not access the connector, so it also must not acquire the connector lock.

This fixes a potential deadlock scenario:

ucsi_displayport_work() -> lock(&con->lock) typec_altmode_vdm() dp_altmode_vdm() dp_altmode_work() typec_altmode_enter() ucsi_displayport_enter() -> lock(&con->lock)
