This function is the counterpart of intel_dp_check_link_service_irq()
both functions having the same purpose, reading and handling HPD IRQs.
The latter one's return value is true if a reprobe is needed and this
patch doesn't change that, it keeps the two functions behave the same
way.

The function name will change in a follow-up patch and I think that
doesn't require a comment on the return value.

All the get/ack IRQ functions in intel_dp.c return true for success.
