My opinion here has changed after I thought about it more. I think that the
piglit_gbm_framework_create() should set gl_fw->create_external_420_buffer
only if the platform is capable of creating a yuv420 buffer.
If a test calls piglit_create_ext_420_buf(), but the function is unable to create
the buffer because the platform doesn't support it (that is, because
gl_fw->create_external_420_buffer is NULL), then the test should report PIGLIT_SKIP.
That is the convention in piglit; if a test attempts to test something that the
platform is incapable of doing, then it reports PIGLIT_SKIP. In this case,
the best place to report PIGLIT_SKIP is here inside piglit_create_ext_420_buf().
