Subject: drm/dp_mst: Handle torn-down topology gracefully in drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe()

From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

commit 613059875958e7b217b250ed14c3b189f9488421 upstream.

A hotplug or link-loss event can tear down the MST topology
(setting mgr->mst_state = false and mgr->mst_primary = NULL) concurrently
with a caller invoking drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe(). Since the check
is already performed under mgr->lock, the condition is not a programming
error but a valid race -- the topology was valid when the caller decided
to call this function, but was torn down before the lock was acquired.

Replace the drm_WARN_ON() with a graceful early return. This eliminates
spurious kernel warnings and the resulting compositor crashes observed
when connecting/disconnecting DP MST monitors, while keeping the correct
behavior of doing nothing when MST is not active. A drm_dbg_mst() trace
is added so the skipped probe remains observable under MST debug logging.

The existing WARN_ON(mgr->mst_primary) in drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr_set_mst()
already catches the case where the topology is initialized twice, so no
diagnostic coverage is lost.
