[PATCH 1/6] vga-switcheroo: add new "immediate" switch event type

vga-switcheroo supports the following types of mux switch events:

* standard: checks the clients' can_switch() callbacks and switches
  the mux if the client drivers report that they are prepared for a
  switch. Also uses client and handler callbacks to manage power on
  the GPUs and reprobe display outputs.
* deferred: registers the intent to perform a mux switch and defers
  it until the client drivers no longer have any active modesetting
  clients. Performs the equivalent of a standard switch when clients
  are ready.
* mux-only: switches the mux immediately without testing can_switch
  first and without calling any of the client or handler callbacks
  for power management and reprobing.

In order to support additional use cases involving dynamic switching
of display muxes, add a new type of "immediate" switch event which
skips the can_switch test and power management hooks, but still calls
the reprobe hook. This switch event type uses 'I' as a prefix for its
commands, similar to the existing 'D' pefix for the deferred commands
and 'M' for the mux-only commands.
