For validation purposes, it might be useful to be able to
force Bigjoiner mode, even if current dotclock/resolution
do not require that.
Lets add such to option to debugfs.

v2: - Apparently intel_dp_need_bigjoiner can't be used, when
      debugfs entry is created so lets just check manually
      the DISPLAY_VER.

v3: - Switch to intel_connector from drm_connector(Jani Nikula)
    - Remove redundant modeset lock(Jani Nikula)
    - Use kstrtobool_from_user for boolean value(Jani Nikula)

v4: - Apply the changes to proper function(Jani Nikula)

That's going to cause excessive dmesg spam.

Then how from dmesg we will get to know, big joiner was forced? 
Shouldn't we have atleast one debug print to know this?

Yeah. But this gets called for every single display mode via
intel_dp_mode_valid().

ohh okay, can we add dbg print in intel_dp_compute_link_config()
from where intel_dp_need_bigjoiner() is called?
