[PATCH v5 07/20] drm/dp_mst: Restart last_connected_port_and_mstb() if topology ref fails

[Lyude Paul]

While this isn't a complete fix, this will improve the reliability of
drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb() pretty significantly during
hotplug events, since there's a chance that the in-memory topology tree
may not be fully updated when drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb()
is called and thus might end up causing our search to fail on an mstb
whose topology refcount has reached 0, but has not yet been removed from
it's parent.

Ideally, we should further fix this problem by ensuring that we deal
with the potential for racing with a hotplug event, which would look
like this:

* drm_dp_payload_send_msg() retrieves the last living relative of mstb
  with drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb()
* drm_dp_payload_send_msg() starts building payload message
  At the same time, mstb gets unplugged from the topology and is no
  longer the actual last living relative of the original mstb
* drm_dp_payload_send_msg() tries sending the payload message, hub times
  out
* Hub timed out, we give up and run away-resulting in the payload being
  leaked

This could be fixed by restarting the
drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb() search whenever we get a
timeout, sending the payload to the new mstb, then repeating until
either the entire topology is removed from the system or
drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb() fails. But since the above
race condition is not terribly likely, we'll address that in a later
patch series once we've improved the recovery handling for VCPI
allocations in the rest of the DP MST helpers.
