[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/5] drm/i915: Save sink_count for tracking changes to it and read sink_count dpcd always

This patch reads sink_count dpcd always and removes its
read operation based on values in downstream port dpcd.

SINK_COUNT dpcd is not dependent on DOWNSTREAM_PORT_PRESENT dpcd.
SINK_COUNT denotes if a display is attached, while
DOWNSTREAM_PORT_PRESET indicates how many ports are available
in the dongle where display can be attached. so it is possible
for sink count to change irrespective of value in downstream
port dpcd.

Here is a table of possible values and scenarios

sink_count      downstream_port
                present
0               0               no display is attached
0               1               dongle is connected without display
1               0               display connected directly
1               1               display connected through dongle

v2: Storing value of intel_dp->sink_count that is ready
    for consumption. (Ander)
    Squashing two commits into one. (Ander)

v3: Added comment to explain the need of early return when
    sink count is 0. (Ander)
