[PATCH v4 3/4] drm/vc4: Check for the binner bo before handling OOM interrupt

Since OOM handling is tricky, could we add a comment to help the next
person try to understand it:

/* The OOM IRQ is level-triggered, so we'll see one at power-on before
 * any jobs are submitted.  The OOM IRQ is masked when this work is
 * scheduled, so we can safely return if there's no binner memory
 * (because no client is currently using 3D).  When a bin job is
 * later submitted, its tile memory allocation will end up bringing us
 * back to a non-OOM state so the OOM can be triggered again.
 */

But, actually, I don't see how the OOM IRQ will ever get re-enabled.
