Ahhh, to be honest though this patch isn't really enough.
drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() isn't going to be used by all drivers (I may remove
some usage of it in nouveau in the near future, even) so I still think it would
be a better idea to just add this into drm_helper_probe_detect() and
drm_helper_probe_detect_ctx() so everything gets covered
