[RFC PATCH v2 1/3] drm: add support modifiers for drivers whose planes only support linear layout

[Tomohito Esaki]

The LINEAR modifier is advertised as default if a driver doesn't specify
modifiers. However, there are legacy drivers such as radeon that do not
support modifiers but infer the actual layout of the underlying buffer.
Therefore, a new flag not_support_fb_modifires is introduced for these
legacy drivers. Allow_fb_modifiers will be replaced with this new flag.
