    drm/atomic-helper: Remove the backoff hack from set_config

Fixing this properly would mean we get to wire the acquire_ctx all the
way through vmwgfx fbdev code, and doing the same was tricky for the
shared fbdev layer. Probably much better to look into refactoring the
entire code to use the helpers, but since that's not a viable
long-term solution fix the issue by open-coding a vmwgfx version of
set_config, that does the legacy backoff dance internally.

Note: Just compile-tested. The idea is to take
drm_mode_set_config_internal(), remove the "is this a legacy driver"
check, and whack the drm_atomic_legacy_backoff trickery at the end.
Since drm_atomic_legacy_backoff is for atomic commits only we need to
open-code it.
