drm/msm: dp: handle the IRQ_HPD events reported by USB-C

This commit allows the MSM DisplayPort driver to handle IRQ_HPD events
delivered over OOB events (like USB-C AltMode).

[Severity: High]
Does this code handle coalesced connection and IRQ_HPD events correctly?

If the USB Type-C AltMode driver coalesces an initial connection and a pending
IRQ_HPD event into a single notification, msm_dp_bridge_hpd_notify() receives
both status == connector_status_connected and event ==
DRM_CONNECTOR_DP_IRQ_HPD.

The mutual exclusion block in drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dp/dp_display.c prioritizes
event == DRM_CONNECTOR_DP_IRQ_HPD, branching to msm_dp_irq_hpd_handle() and
entirely skipping msm_dp_hpd_plug_handle().

Because msm_dp_hpd_plug_handle() is skipped, dp->plugged remains false,
the DP PHY is not initialized, and AUX transfers remain disabled. The
subsequent msm_dp_irq_hpd_handle() then attempts an AUX read which immediately
fails with -ENXIO, abandoning the initialization and leaving the display
blank.

Is it possible to ensure msm_dp_hpd_plug_handle() is still called when a new
connection occurs alongside an IRQ_HPD event?
