There is no race condition here.
The interrupts are converted into event and stored at event q.
event thread service event sequentially and make sure transaction had 
been completed before service next event.
The first irq_hpd with sink_count = 0 is handled and this transaction 
will not completed until user space frame work turn off display 
(msm_dp_display_disable()).
After that, the second irq_hpd with sink_count will be service which 
found that display is off so it spill out DP_LINK_STATUS_UPDATED warning 
message and do nothing.

Put dongle to D3 state so that it will not issue the unnecessary second 
irq_hpd with sink_count = 0. this will prevent the annoy but unharmful 
DP_LINK_STATUS_UPDATED warning message.
Again, we can not disable hpd interrupt since dongle still attached and 
hdmi cable can be plugged in at any instant.
