commit d14e7b6d1d8747826cb900db852351c550e00fdd upstream.

We are no longer checkling the DP link status on long hpd. We used to do
that from the .hot_plug() handler, but it was removed when MST got
introduced.

If there's no userspace we now fail to retrain the link if the sink
power is toggled (or cable yanked and replugged), meaning the user is
left staring at a blank screen. With the retraining put back that should
be fixed.

Also remove the leftover comment that referred to the old retraining
from .hot_plug().

Fixes a regression introduced in:
