drm/i915: Perform link quality check unconditionally during long pulse

Apparently some DP sinks are a little nuts and cause HPD to drop
intermittently during modesets. This happens eg. on an ASUS PB287Q.
In oder to recover from this we can't really use the previous
connector status to determine if the link needs retraining, so let's
just ignore that piece of information and do the retrain
unconditionally. We do of course still check whether the link is
supposed to be running or not.

To actually get read out the EDID and update things properly we
also need to nuke the goto out added by commit 7d23e3c37bb3
("drm/i915: Cleaning up intel_dp_hpd_pulse"). I'm actually not sure
why that was there. Perhaps to avoid an EDID read if the connector
status didn't appear to change, but that sort of thing is quite racy
and would have failed anyway if we failed to keep up with the
hotplugs (if we missed the HPD down in between two HPD ups). And
now that we take this codepath unconditionally we definitely need
to drop the goto as otherwise we would never do the EDID read.

v2: Drop the goto that made us skip EDID reads entirely. Doh!
v3: Rebase due to locking changes
