[v2] drm: Schedule the output_poll_work with 1s delay if we have delayed event

Instead of scheduling the work to handle the initial delayed event, use 1s
delay.

This delay should not be needed, but Optimus/nouveau will fail in a
mysterious way if the delayed event is handled as soon as possible like it
is done in drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes() in case the poll
was enabled before.

Reverting 339fd36238dd would give back the 10 sec (!) delay to handle the
delayed event. Adding 1sec delay to the poll_work is enough to work around
the issue in Optimus setups and gives shorter response on handling the
initial delayed event.

Fixes: 339fd36238dd ("drm: drm_probe_helper: Fix output_poll_work scheduling")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org   # v4.9

Peter is on it, but fixing the regression meanwhile has priority imo.

That will make people unhappy about the delay again, so I think 1s delay
is the better option.

I added a FIXME: heading here to make it stick out more, and then applied
the patch.

Thanks, Daniel

For the future: If you add an in-patch changelog then it'd would have been
clear that we discussed all this already. Also good to cc all previous
commenters when submitting a new version.
