I think this would work well.

drm_dp_mst_dpcd_read/write will eventually call drm_dp_dpcd_write, so
doing so would cause a recursive call. That should be safe though. The
mst manager's aux will be used, and that should always be a real
(is_remote == false) aux, fwict.

Essentially, it's just moving that conditional from
auxdev_read/write_iter to drm_dp_dpcd_read/write.
