[PATCH v6 6/8] drm/i915/display: Flush the front buffer in panic handler

On Lunar Lake, if the panic occurs when fbcon is active, the panic
screen is only partially visible on the screen. Adding this
intel_frontbuffer_flush() call solves the issue.
It's probably not safe to do that in the panic handler, but that's
still better than nothing.
