The point here is to validate that the plane configuration is valid,
if not we skip the test. Doing a real commit here doesn't make sense.

If there's some step that's too slow while we have the crc capture
enabled, then we should try do that step before we enable the crc
capture. A modeset should not cause a crc buffer overflow in itself
since it stops the crc capture for the duration of the modeset.
But looking at the code it looks like it should be possible to
reorder igt_pipe_crc_start() and copy_pattern(). I guess it would
even be possible to do the igt_pipe_crc_start() after the commit.

I probably made it look obnoxious to make sure it's easy to spot
should the rendercopy fails somehow.
