[PATCH 3/3] drm/atomic: refuse changing CRTC for planes while active

Very strictly speaking this is possible if you have special hw and
genlocked CRTCs. In general switching a plane between two active CRTC
just won't work so well and is probably not tested at all. Just forbid
it.

The exception is when both CRTC do a full modeset, then it should be
no problem at all to move the planes around (presuming a correct
implementation) so allow that case.

I've put this into the core since I really couldn't come up with a
case where we don't want to enforce that. But if that ever happens it
would be easy to move this check into helpers.
