[PATCH v3] DRM/KMS/EDID: Test EDDC if EDID announces more than one Extension Block (v3)

There are displays which announce EDID extension blocks in the
Extension Flag of the EDID base block although they are not EDDC
capable (ie. take a segment address at I2C slave address 0x30).
We test this by looking for an EDID header which is only possible
in the base block.
If the segment address is not taken into account, this block will
be identical to the base block in which case we stop reading further
EEDID blocks, correct the extension flag and just return the base
block.

v2: Split up EDID fixup code into separate commit.
v3: Worked in changes suggested by Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>:
    Reworded comment,
    Used memcmp(),
    Compared entire base block instead of signature only.
