drm_kms_helper_poll_enable_locked() should check if we have delayed event
pending and if we have, schedule the work to run without delay.

Currently the output_poll_work is only scheduled if any of the connectors
have DRM_CONNECTOR_POLL_CONNECT or DRM_CONNECTOR_POLL_DISCONNECT with
DRM_OUTPUT_POLL_PERIOD delay. It does not matter if we have delayed event
already registered to be handled. The detection will be delayd by
DRM_OUTPUT_POLL_PERIOD in any case.
Furthermore if none of the connectors are marked as POLL_CONNECT or
POLL_DISCONNECT because all connectors are either POLL_HPD or they are
always connected: the output_poll_work will not run at all even if we
have delayed event marked.

When none of the connectors require polling, their initial status change
from unknown to connected/disconnected is not going to be handled until
the first kms application starts or if we have fb console enabled.

With this change we can react more quickly to output status changes after
enabling the poll but most importantly it will correct the behavior when
none of the connector have POLL_CONNECT or POLL_DISCONNECT flag set - they
are either POLL_HPD or the .polled is 0. The initial status change is going
to be handled correctly as well.

The delayed_event is set first in the
drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes_merge_bits() when the force is not set.
The drm_kms_helper_poll_init() is called by drivers when they have their
connectors set up. So when probing the drivers we will first set up the
connectors, they will move from connector_status_unknown to connected or
disconnected and the delayed_event is set.
Later the drm_kms_helper_poll_init() is called and that will schedule the work
with DRM_OUTPUT_POLL_PERIOD. So even if we now know the state of the
connectors, they will be checked by the poll_work when the work is running
with a delay. If we set the delay to 0 the detection will run much faster.

Is this makes more sense?

I can drop the last paragraph.
