drm/i915/mst: Document the userspace fail with possible_crtcs

To avoid accidentally breaking things in the future add a
comment explaining why we misconfigure the pipe_mask.

Also toss in a TODO for investigating a single encoder
approach as opposed to the encoder-per-pipe approach.

v2: Drop a bogus TODO comment
