[PATCH] drm/i915/intel_crtc: Warn and clamp if num_scalers exceeds SKL_NUM_SCALERS

Add a drm_WARN_ON() in intel_crtc_init() to catch cases where
crtc->num_scalers exceeds the expected SKL_NUM_SCALERS limit.

This condition should not occur, as the number of scalers per pipe does not
exceed two for current platforms, making SKL_NUM_SCALERS (2) a safer upper
limit. However, if a platform ever gains more scalers per pipe than
SKL_NUM_SCALERS, it could lead to issues when crtc->num_scalers is used to
iterate over scaler_state->scalers.

To prevent this, warn and clamp the value to SKL_NUM_SCALERS.
