[PATCH v3 2/2] amd/display: only require overlay plane to cover whole CRTC on ChromeOS

Commit ddab8bd788f5 ("drm/amd/display: Fix two cursor duplication when
using overlay") changed the atomic validation code to forbid the
overlay plane from being used if it doesn't cover the whole CRTC. The
motivation is that ChromeOS uses the atomic API for everything except
the cursor plane (which uses the legacy API). Thus amdgpu must always
be prepared to enable/disable/move the cursor plane at any time without
failing (or else ChromeOS will trip over).

As discussed in [1], there's no reason why the ChromeOS limitation
should prevent other fully atomic users from taking advantage of the
overlay plane. Let's limit the check to ChromeOS.
