Jonas Ådahl eb3ff3f44a monitor-manager-kms: Don't try to wait for EDID on hot plug
The mitigation to avoid missing EDID blob was incorrect; the reason it
sometimes failed to read was a race between different applications all
trying to read the EDID at the same time. E.g. gnome-shell as GDM would
at the same time as the session gnome-shell try to read the EDID of the
same connector at the same time, triggering a race in the kernel,
making the blob reading ioctl occationally fail with ENOENT.

Remove this mitigation, as it didn't really mitigate anything; the race
could just as well happen when doing the actual read later.
