[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gen9: fix DDB partitioning for multi-screen cases

With the previous code we were only recomputing the DDB partitioning
for the CRTCs included in the atomic commit, so any other active CRTCs
would end up having their DDB registers zeroed. In this patch we make
sure that the computed state starts as a copy of the current
partitioning, and then we only zero the DDBs that we're actually
going to recompute.

How to reproduce the bug:
  1 - Enable the primary plane on pipe A
  2 - Enable the primary plane on pipe B
  3 - Enable the sprite plane on pipe A

Step 3 will zero the DDB partitioning for pipe B since it's not
included in the commit that enabled the sprite for pipe A.

I expect this to fix many FIFO underrun problems on gen9+.

I still have to confirm whether this closes the above bugs, but it
certainly fixes the problem I described.
