With the recent fix to reassing encoders only once this should work, since
it's really 4 steps:

1. steal enc2  from crtc2. We already figure out which connector enc2 has
used, and by looking at con2->state->crtc we can get at the old crtc. So
should be easy to clear crtc2_state->encoder_mask to no longer contain
enc2. I.e. we have enc2, conn2 as known, so just do:

	get_crtc_state(conn2->state->crtc)->encoder_mask &= ~encoder_id(enc2);

2. We notice that conn1 already has a encoder assigned (enc1), and we need
to clear that first. This step is new (well we could hide it in the
set_best_encoder function), but works exactly like step 1.

3. add enc2 to crtc1: That's the easy part, just or in the new bit. Easy:

	crtc1_sate->encoder_mask |= encoder_id(enc2);	

With this enc2 is updated, and enc1 is cleared everywhere, including
encoder_masks.

4. add enc1 for con1 like step 3.

The important bit is simply to not overwrite a pointer before clearing the
mask for the old value completely. If you look at set_crtc_* funcs that's
exactly what they're doing. And since we can always get at the old state
it should always be possible to clear out the old mask.
