When using Xorg/Logind and an external monitor connected with an MST dock. After disconnecting the external monitor, switching to VT may not work, the (internal) monitor sill display Xorg, and you can't see what you are typing in the VT.
This is related to commit e2809c7db818 ("drm/fb_helper: move deferred fb checking into restore mode (v2)")
When switching to VT, with Xorg and logind, if there are pending hotplug event (like MST unplugged), the hotplug path may not be fulfilled, because logind may drop the master a bit later. It leads to the console not showing up on the monitor.
So when dropping the drm master, call the delayed hotplug function if needed.
v2: rewrote the patch by calling the hotplug function after dropping master
