[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/9] drm/i915: Disable primary plane if we fail to reconstruct BIOS fb

If we fail to reconstruct the BIOS fb (e.g., because the FB is too
large), we'll be left with plane state that indicates the primary plane
is visible yet has a NULL fb.  This mismatch causes problems later on
(e.g., for the watermark code).  Since we've failed to reconstruct the
BIOS FB, the best solution is to just disable the primary plane and
pretend the BIOS never had it enabled.

With this patch, the rest of this series now runs without problems on Jani's
system where the regressions were originally reported.

Chris pointed out that this might also fix some of the other bugzillas we have
on older platforms where there's a GPU hang on failed FB takeover.  I don't
think I have any platforms that can reproduce those types of problems to
verify, but he listed candidate bugs as:
