Add boolean wariable to drm_connector, make
drm_writeback_connector_cleanup set it, WARN_ON(!set &&
connector->connctor_type == DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_WRITEBACK).
Or maybe even better, make this function being called from
drm_connector_cleanup() if it is a writeback connector.

Usage should come with the API in the same patchset. Otherwise it's
impossible to judge whether the pieces fit together or not.
