            drm/i915: enable atomic fb-helper

I've been seeing some panics on i915 when the DRM master shuts down that appear
to be caused by using an already-freed framebuffer (i.e., we're unexpectedly
dropping our initial FB's reference count to 0 and freeing it, which causes a
crash when we try to restore it later).  Digging deeper, the state FB
refcounting is working as expected, but we seem to be missing proper
refcounting on the legacy plane->fb pointers in the new atomic fbdev code.

Tracking plane->old_fb and then doing a ref/unref at the end of the
fbdev restore like we do in the legacy ioctl's ensures we don't miscount
references on plane->fb and avoids the panics.

I don't see any existing bugzilla's (or mailing list complaints) for this,
which surprises me a bit since it seems to be very easy to reproduce for me on
latest drm-intel-nightly running on IVB...boot the system, load X, kill X,
panic.
