Subject: drm/i915/gen9: fix DDB partitioning for multi-screen cases

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com>

commit 01c72d6c17dc524f04d4dbe361d214e423b35457 upstream.

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 cursor or 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 cursor or sprite for pipe A.

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

v2:
  - Mention the cursor on the steps to reproduce the problem (Paulo).
  - Add Testcase tag provided by Maarten (Maarten).
