[PATCH v2 3/4] drm: require a non_NULL drm_crtc.primary

If a CRTC is missing a legacy primary plane pointer, a lot of things
will be broken for user-space: fbdev stops working and the entire legacy
uAPI stops working.

Require all drivers to populate drm_crtc.primary to prevent these
issues. Warn if it's NULL.
