[PATCH v2] drm/atomic: add ATOMIC_AMEND flag to the Atomic IOCTL.

[Helen Koike]

This flag tells core to jump ahead the queued update if the conditions
in drm_atomic_async_check() are met. That means we are only able to do an
async update if no modeset is pending and update for the same plane is
not queued.

It uses the already in place infrastructure for async updates.

It is useful for cursor updates and async PageFlips over the atomic
ioctl, otherwise in some cases updates may be delayed to the point the
user will notice it. Note that for now it's only enabled for cursor
planes.

DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_AMEND should be passed to the Atomic IOCTL to use this
feature.

Hi,

This is the second attempt to introduce the new ATOMIC_AMEND flag for atomic
operations, see the commit message for a more detailed description.

This was tested using a small program that exercises the uAPI for easy
sanity testing. The program was created by Alexandros and modified by
Enric to test the capability flag [2].

To test, just build the program and use the --atomic flag to use the cursor
plane with the ATOMIC_AMEND flag. E.g.

  drm_cursor --atomic

The test worked on a rockchip Ficus v1.1 board on top of mainline plus
the patch to update cursors asynchronously through atomic for the
drm/rockchip driver plus the DRM_CAP_ASYNC_UPDATE patch.

Alexandros also did a proof-of-concept to use this flag and draw cursors
using atomic if possible on ozone [1].

Thanks
Helen

Changes in v2:
- rebase tree
- do not fall back to a non-async update if if there isn't any
pending commit to amend

Changes in v1:
- https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/243088/
- Only enable it if userspace requests it.
- Only allow async update for cursor type planes.
- Rename ASYNC_UPDATE for ATOMIC_AMEND.
