[RFC v2 15/18] drm/display/dp_mst: Skip releasing payloads if last connected port isn't connected

In the past, we've ran into strange issues regarding errors in response to
trying to destroy payloads after a port has been unplugged. We fixed this
back in:

This is intended to replace the workaround that was added here:

commit 3769e4c0af5b ("drm/dp_mst: Avoid to mess up payload table by ports in stale topology")

which was intended fix to some of the payload leaks that were observed
before, where we would attempt to determine if the port was still connected
to the topology before updating payloads using
drm_dp_mst_port_downstream_of_branch. This wasn't a particularly good
solution, since one of the points of still having port and mstb validation
is to avoid sending messages to newly disconnected branches wherever
possible - thus the required use of drm_dp_mst_port_downstream_of_branch
would indicate something may be wrong with said validation.

It seems like it may have just been races and luck that made
drm_dp_mst_port_downstream_of_branch work however, as while I was trying to
figure out the true cause of this issue when removing the legacy MST code -
I discovered an important excerpt in section 2.14.2.3.3.6 of the DP 2.0
specs:

"BAD_PARAM - This reply is transmitted when a Message Transaction parameter
is in error; for example, the next port number is invalid or /no device is
connected/ to the port associated with the port number."

Sure enough - removing the calls to drm_dp_mst_port_downstream_of_branch()
and instead checking the ->ddps field of the parent port to see whether we
should release a given payload or not seems to totally fix the issue. This
does actually make sense to me, as it seems the implication is that given a
topology where an MSTB is removed, the payload for the MST parent's port
will be released automatically if that port is also marked as disconnected.
However, if there's another parent in the chain after that which is
connected - payloads must be released there with an ALLOCATE_PAYLOAD
message.

So, let's do that!
