[PATCH 1/2] drm: Add DRM_ERROR_ON replacement for WARN_ON

i915 has a habit of using WARN_ON and spewing stacktraces into the
kernel logs and beyond. For the majority of cases, we do not care about
the stacktrace, we know precisely where and when the error occurs so
hunting down the exact instance is not a concern, we only need the
content of the error.
