[PATCH] drm: do not call detect for connectors which are forced on

"detect" should not be called and its return value shall not be used when a
connector is forced as hinted in the commit d50ba256b5f1 ("drm/kms: start
adding command line interface using fb.") and the commit 6fe14acd496e
("drm: Document drm_connector_funcs"). One negative side effect of doing
this is observed on the RCar3 SoCs which use the dw-hdmi driver. It
continues executing drm_helper_hpd_irq_event even if its connector is
forced to ON. As consequence drm_helper_hpd_irq_event calls "detect" so the
connector status is updated to "disconnected":

[  420.201527] [drm:drm_helper_hpd_irq_event] [CONNECTOR:76:HDMI-A-1] status updated from connected to disconnected

This status is corrected by drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes shortly
after this because this function checks if a connector is forced:

[  420.218703] [drm:drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes] [CONNECTOR:76:HDMI-A-1] status updated from disconnected to connected

To avoid similar issues this commit adapts functions which call "detect"
so they check if a connector is forced and return the correct status.

Fixes: 949f08862d66 ("drm: Make the connector .detect() callback optional")
