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. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779837
