drm/i915/dp: Link train Fallback on eDP only if fallback link BW can fit panel's native mode

This patch fixes the original commit c0cfb10d ("drm/i915/edp:
Do not do link training fallback or prune modes on EDP") that causes
a blank screen in case of certain eDP panels (Eg: seen on Dell XPS13 9350)
where first link training fails and a retraining is required by falling
back to lower link rate/lane count.
In case of some panels they advertise higher link rate/lane count
than whats required for supporting the panel's native mode.
But we always link train at highest link rate/lane count for eDP
and if that fails we can still fallback to lower link rate/lane count
as long as the fallback link BW still fits the native mode to avoid
pruning the panel's native mode yet retraining at fallback values
to recover from a blank screen.

v3:
* Add const for fixed_mode (Ville)
v2:
* Send uevent if link failure on eDP unconditionally
