[PATCH] Revert "drm/atomic: document and enforce rules around "spurious" EBUSY"

This reverts commit fb6473a48b635c55d04eb94e579eede52ef39550.

These additional checks added to avoid EBUSY give unnecessary WARN_ON
in case of big joiner used in i915 in which case even if the modeset
is requested on a single pipe, internally another consecutive
pipe is stolen and used to drive half of the transcoder timings.
So in this case it is expected that requested crtc and affected crtcs
do not match. Hence the added WARN ON becomes irrelevant.
But there is no easy solution to get the bigjoiner information
here at drm level. So for now revert this until we work out
a better solution.
