Force-probing a connector can be slow and cause flickering. As this
affects the global KMS state, let's make it so only the DRM master
can force-probe a connector.

Non-master DRM clients won't be able to force-probe a connector
anymore. Instead, KMS will perform a regular read-only connector
query.
