Daniel Vetter a4f968d8e5 drm: don't unnecessarily enable the polling work
... by properly checking connector->polled. This doesn't matter too
much because the polling work itself gets this slightly more right and
doesn't set repoll if there's nothing to do. But we can do better.

v2: Chris Wilson noticed that I broke polling, since repoll will never
ever be set true. Fix this up, and simplify the logic a bit while at
it.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
