I think it'd be really good if we allow all connector status values,
including unknown. It's not very common, which is why most compositors
utterly fail at handling it in a reasonable way.

Ok a few lifetime bugs here:

- Calling drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event after you unluck means all the drm
stuff might have disappeared meanwhile. Oops.

- It is worse, because switching to configfs_subsystem.su_mutex will not
prevent the race, because the vkms_device can disappear independently
(by manually unbinding the driver in sysfs) at least with the real
platform driver approach. This is another reason why I'm not sure having
a real platform driver with probe/remove hooks is a good idea.

- Furthermore the drm_connector might also disappear.

I think the way to properly fix this is:

- configfs needs to hold a reference of it's on to the drm_device in
vkms_device.

- it needs to call a vkms function to update the connector hotplug status
with only the configfs obj idx. That function then needs to find the
right drm_connector using the drm_connector_iter functions (which will
sort out any lifetime/locking issues) until is has the right one, and
then update the connector status.

No matter what, we cannot have a backpointer from any drm object to
configfs, that doesn't work correctly.
