[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/tgl: Set drm_crtc_state.active=false for all added disconnected CRTCs sharing MST stream.

This patch avoids failing atomic commits sent by user space by making sure CRTC/Connector added to drm_atomic_state by the driver are in valid state.

When disconnecting MST hub with two or more connected displays. The user space sends IOCTL for each MST pipe to disable.
drm_atomic_state object sent from user space contains only the state of the crtc/pipe intended to disable.
In TGL, intel_dp_mst_atomic_master_trans_check will add all other CRTC and connectors that share the MST stream to drm_atomic_state:

drm_atomic_commit
   drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset
       update_connector_routing
       intel_dp_mst_atomic_check = funcs->atomic_check(connector, state);
       	   intel_dp_mst_atomic_master_trans_check
		intel_atomic_get_digital_connector_state
			drm_atomic_get_connector_state   <-- Add all Connectors
			    drm_atomic_get_crtc_state <-- Add all CRTCs
       update_connector_routing <-- Check added Connector/CRTCs - Will fail

However the added crtc/connector pair will be in invalid state (enabled state for a removed connector)
triggering this condition in drm_atomic_helper.c/update_connector_routing:

	if (!state->duplicated && drm_connector_is_unregistered(connector) &&
	    crtc_state->active) {
		DRM_DEBUG_ATOMIC("[CONNECTOR:%d:%s] is not registered\n",
				 connector->base.id, connector->name);
		return -EINVAL;
	}

Which will cause the drm_atomic_commit/IOCTL for disabling one of MST stream pipes (Main MST) to fail.

The problem happens when a user space (as Chrome) doesn’t retry a falling commit, leaving a disconnected MST pipe still ON,
which will result in failing reconnect of MST hub or even worse leaving TC PHY in a connected state while the MST Hub is disconnected.

Tested on Ubuntu(drm-tip) and Chrome(kernel-next 5.9 rc7)
