drm/fb-helper: Fix hpd vs. initial config races

Some drivers need to be able to have a perfect race-free fbcon setup.
Current drivers only enable hotplug processing after the call to
drm_fb_helper_initial_config which leaves a tiny but important race.

This race is especially noticable on embedded platforms where the
driver itself enables the voltage for the hdmi output, since only then
will monitors (after a bit of delay, as usual) respond by asserting
the hpd pin.

Most of the infrastructure is already there with the split-out
drm_fb_helper_init. And drm_fb_helper_initial_config already has all
the required locking to handle concurrent hpd events since

    drm/fb-helper: improve drm_fb_helper_initial_config locking

The only missing bit is making drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event save
against concurrent calls of drm_fb_helper_initial_config. The only
unprotected bit is the check for fb_helper->fb.

With that drivers can first initialize the fb helper, then enabel
hotplug processing and then set up the initial config all in a
completely race-free manner. Update kerneldoc and convert i915 as a
proof of concept.

Feature requested by Thierry since his tegra driver atm reliably boots
slowly enough to misses the hotplug event for an external hdmi screen,
but also reliably boots to quickly for the hpd pin to be asserted when
the fb helper calls into the hdmi ->detect function.
