[PATCH] drm/client: Send hotplug event after registering a client

Generate a hotplug event after registering a client to allow the
client to configure its display. Remove the hotplug calls from the
existing clients for fbdev emulation. This change fixes a concurrency
bug between registering a client and receiving events from the DRM
core. The bug is present in the fbdev emulation of all drivers.

The fbdev emulation currently generates a hotplug event before
registering the client to the device. For each new output, the DRM
core sends an additional hotplug event to each registered client.

If the DRM core detects first output between sending the artificial
hotplug and registering the device, the output's hotplug event gets
lost. If this is the first output, the fbdev console display remains
dark. This has been observed with amdgpu and fbdev-generic.

Fix this by adding hotplug generation directly to the client's
register helper drm_client_register(). Registering the client and
receiving events are serialized by struct drm_device.clientlist_mutex.
So an output is either configured by the initial hotplug event, or
the client has already been registered.

The bug was originally added in commit 6e3f17ee73f7 ("drm/fb-helper:
generic: Call drm_client_add() after setup is done"), in which adding
a client and receiving a hotplug event switched order. It was hidden,
as most hardware and drivers have at least on static output configured.
Other drivers didn't use the internal DRM client or still had struct
drm_mode_config_funcs.output_poll_changed set. That callback handled
hotplug events as well. After not setting the callback in amdgpu in
commit 0e3172bac3f4 ("drm/amdgpu: Don't set struct
drm_driver.output_poll_changed"), amdgpu did not show a framebuffer
console if output events got lost. The bug got copy-pasted from
fbdev-generic into the other fbdev emulation.
