drm/nouveau/kms: Don't change EDID when it hasn't actually changed
Currently in nouveau_connector_ddc_detect() and nouveau_connector_detect_lvds(), we start the connector probing process by releasing the previous EDID and informing DRM of the change. However, since commit 5186421c ("drm: Introduce epoch counter to drm_connector") drm_connector_update_edid_property() actually checks whether the new EDID we've specified is different from the previous one, and updates the connector's epoch accordingly if it is. But, because we always set the EDID to NULL first in nouveau_connector_ddc_detect() and nouveau_connector_detect_lvds() we end up making DRM think that the EDID changes every single time we do a connector probe - which isn't needed. So, let's fix this by not clearing the EDID at the start of the connector probing process, and instead simply changing or removing it once near the end of the probing process. This will help prevent us from sending unneeded hotplug events to userspace when nothing has actually changed.
