[PATCH 0/2] Fix connector probing deadlocks from RPM bugs

[Lyude Paul]

This is a trimmed down version of

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/46637/

with all of the review comments addressed.

The last version of this series had fixes for the i2c and DP aux busses
to ensure that the GPU would be turned on whenever anything tried to
access the i2c/aux busses. Unfortunately: one of the fixes apparently
contained some very incorrect usage of Linux's runtime PM interface in
order to prevent runtime suspend/resume requests coming from within
nouveau's suspend/resume callbacks from deadlocking the system.

Turns out: fixing the i2c/dp aux problem is a lot harder then I
originally anticipated. We either need to come up with helpers for DRM
that work around the PM core, which is really not ideal, or come up with
a new feature for the RPM core that allows us to inhibit suspend/resume
callbacks. The former seems to be somewhat trivial to implement, but
coming up with a decent interface for that is going to take a bit more
time and I'd much rather have issues causing deadlocks get fixed first.
This means that drm_dp_aux_dev is going to be broken on nouveau for
laptops with hybrid GPUs using RPM, but it was already broken before
anyhow.

So: this just contains the seriously important fixes that will stop
people's machines from crashing very hard. Hopefully I can come up with
a solution to the i2c/aux problem soon after fixing some other glaring
MST bugs nouveau currently has.
