drm/i915/fbc: rewrite the multiple_pipes_ok() code for locking
Older FBC platforms have this restriction where FBC can't be enabled if multiple pipes are enabled. In the current code, we disable FBC before the second pipe becomes visible. One of the problems with this code is that the current multiple_pipes_ok() implementation just iterates through all CRTCs looking at their states, but it doesn't make sure that the state locks are grabbed. It also can't just grab the locks for every CRTC since this would kill one of the biggest advantages of atomic modesetting. After the recent FBC changes, we now have the appropriate locks for the given CRTC, so we can just try to maintain the state of each CRTC and update it once intel_fbc_pre_update is called. As a last note, I don't have gen 2/3 machines to test this code. My current plan is to enable FBC on just the newer platforms, so this patch is just an attempt to get the gen 2/3 code at least looking sane, so if one day someone decide to fix FBC on these platforms, they may have less work to do.
