Race condition In linux

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nouveau graphics driver for NVIDIA GPUs. The hpd_irq_lock spinlock is not initialized for PIOR (Parallel Interface Output Resource) DisplayPort connectors. This missing initialization causes a kernel oops on systems with ANX9805 DP encoders when hotplug detection operations access the uninitialized lock.
