Also when i915 is fully atomic it calculates in intel_modeset_compute_config
if a modeset is needed after the first atomic call. Right now because
intel_modeset_compute_config is only called in set_config so this works as expected.
Otherwise drm_plane_force_disable or rotate_0 will force a modeset,
and if the final mode is different this will introduce a double modeset.
