Just use the same READ_ONCE(conn->registered) trick as in the core? Imo no
need to track this twice ...

I think if we've move the conn->registered check into drm_probe_helper.c
we could drop all these checks here too. And fixup nouveau/amdgpu while at
it - trying to get modes for a disconnected mst sink is somewhat silly :-)
