[PATCH 1/2] Revert "drm: hide unregistered connectors from GETCONNECTOR IOCTL"

[Jonas Ådahl]

Can you update the commit message so at least the first patch can land
for 6.1 so we can avoid regressions? E.g. something like

````
It caused logically active but disconnected MST display port connectors to
disappear from the drmModeGetResources() list, meaning userspace is made to
believe the connector is already disabled. This conflicts with the intended
behavior of userspace, which is to detect the connector got disconnected
and then disabling it.

When userspace later attempts post a new mode set commit, if that commit
uses the same CRTC used to previously drive the disconnected connector,
it will fail as that CRTC is logically still tied to the disconnected
connector.

This was discovered by a bisecting docking station hot plugging
regression using mutter.
```

(feel free to edit in any way you want).
