modes: Retry GETCONNECTOR if a hotplug event occurs between the two ioctls
If the available modes changes between the two GETCONNECTOR ioctls, that
caused the kernel to skip filling one array and led to a crash (as the size
of the allocated and initialised block of memory differed from the reported
size, and might be NULL if no modes were present at first).
This bug manifest its self on my machine due to spurious false positive
detections of a connected TV-out.
