Subject: [PATCH 4.4 075/192] [PATCH 078/135] drm/atomic: Do not unset crtc when an encoder is stolen

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 97a8df90875f72ba3b4c3320759fd93cea743261 ]

While we steal the encoder away from the connector the connector may
be updated to use a different encoder.

Without this change if 2 connectors swap encoders one of them will
end up without a crtc.
