[Intel-gfx] [RFC] drm/i915/dp: Remove i915.enable_dp_mst module parameter

MST is enabled by default on all platforms that support it. I don't think
we should be providing a switch to work around MST issues as the feature
has been supported for a while now. Let's kill this module parameter
that we also do not test in CI.
