Laurent Pinchart e2c545b841 media: mc: Expand MUST_CONNECT flag to always require an enabled link
[ Upstream commit b3decc5ce7 ]

The MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag indicates that the pad requires an
enabled link to stream, but only if it has any link at all. This makes
little sense, as if a pad is part of a pipeline, there are very few use
cases for an active link to be mandatory only if links exist at all. A
review of in-tree drivers confirms they all need an enabled link for
pads marked with the MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag.

Expand the scope of the flag by rejecting pads that have no links at
all. This requires modifying the pipeline build code to add those pads
to the pipeline.
