When unbinding a DRM master driver there's a race condition that
sometimes results in an invalid vm access when userspace (gnome-shell)
issues a DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR ioctl right after a bridge has been
removed from an encoder's bridge chain.

This means that once a bridge has been disabled and gone through
ps8640_post_disable(), if ps8640_bridge_get_edid() runs afterwards as a
result of that ioctl call it will call drm_bridge_chain_pre_enable()
and drm_bridge_chain_post_disable() again in a bridge that has been
already detached.

Setting `ps_bridge->pre_enabled = false` at a later stage of the
bringdown path and calling drm_bridge_chain_pre_enable() inside
ps8640_bridge_get_edid() only if needed avoid this, although a proper
subsystem-wide fix would be the proper solution, since the same type of
race conditions might happen somewhere else.

Tested on an Acer Chromebook R13 (Elm, MT8173) with Debian Sid.
