DC always work off current context. If we don't swap in a context with plane removed, HWSS will be doing the wrong programming when we enable streams and planes.

I see, at least try to get rid of dangling_context I don't see why intermediate state is needed. Adding Tony and Jonathan, maybe they can explain.
Also please rename struct dc_state *context in the argument list to state, context is obsolete naming.
