Read patch 2 more careful, we always reset damage when duplicating state.
So it's one-shot (like fences).

But you might also want to ignore damage (and do a full upload) in other
cases, like a modeset, or when you move your plane between crtc. This
function here is for that.

And yes this should be explained in the kerneldoc. And _clear_damage is
not a great name for what it's meant to do, that's just what it does. I
think in the past I've suggested _full_damage() or something like that.
