Looks like we *can* change tiling format. That actually makes me kinda
happy as that explains why we were able to allocate a linear frame
buffer for the X front buffer (due to a bug) and page flip to DRI3
buffers which are always tiled.

However, we can't change the pitch. From the kernel driver:

	/*
	 * TILEOFF/LINOFF registers can't be changed via MI display flips.
	 * Note that pitch changes could also affect these register.
	 */
	if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen > 3 &&
	    (fb->offsets[0] != crtc->primary->fb->offsets[0] ||
	     fb->pitches[0] != crtc->primary->fb->pitches[0]))
		return -EINVAL;

I'll remove the tiling check.
