drm/atomic_helper: Allow DPMS On<->Off changes for unregistered connectors

It appears when testing my previous fix for some of the legacy
modesetting issues with MST, I misattributed some kernel splats that
started appearing on my machine after a rebase as being from upstream.
But it appears they actually came from my patch series:

The cause of this appears to be due to the fact that if there's
pre-existing display state that was set by the BIOS when i915 loads, it
will attempt to perform a modeset before the driver is registered with
userspace. Since this happens before the driver's registered with
userspace, it's connectors are also unregistered and thus-states which
would turn on DPMS on a connector end up getting rejected since the
connector isn't registered.

These bugs managed to get past Intel's CI partially due to the fact it
never ran a full test on my patches for some reason, but also because
all of the tests unload the GPU once before running. Since this bug is
only really triggered when the drivers tries to perform a modeset before
it's been fully registered with userspace when coming from whatever
display configuration the firmware left us with, it likely would never
have been picked up by CI in the first place.

After some discussion with vsyrjala, we decided the best course of
action would be to just move the unregistered connector checks out of
update_connector_routing() and into drm_atomic_set_crtc_for_connector().
The reason for this being that legacy modesetting isn't going to be
expecting failures anywhere (at least this is the case with X), so
ideally we want to ensure that any DPMS changes will still work even on
unregistered connectors. Instead, we now only reject new modesets which
would change the current CRTC assigned to an unregistered connector
unless no new CRTC is being assigned to replace the connector's previous
one.
