[PATCH v4] drm/amd/display: fix flickering caused by S/G mode

Currently, on a handful of ASICs. We allow the framebuffer for a given
plane to exist in either VRAM or GTT. However, if the plane's new
framebuffer is in a different memory domain than it's previous
framebuffer, flipping between them can cause the screen to flicker. So,
to fix this, don't perform an immediate flip in the aforementioned case.

v2: make a number of clarifications to the commit message and drop
    locking.
v3: use a stronger check
v4: drop mem_type
