Currently, i915 appears to rely on blocking modesets on no-longer-present MSTB ports by simply returning NULL for ->best_encoder(), which in turn causes any new atomic commits that don't disable the CRTC to fail. This is wrong however, since we still want to allow userspace to disable CRTCs on no-longer-present MSTB ports by changing the DPMS state to off and this still requires that we retrieve an encoder.
So, fix this by always returning a valid encoder regardless of the state of the MST port.

Changes since v1: - Remove mst atomic helper, since this got replaced with a much simpler solution
