drm/atomic: Refcounting for plane_state->fb

So my original plan was that the drm core refcounts framebuffers like
with the legacy ioctls. But that doesn't work for a bunch of reasons:

- State objects might live longer than until the next fb change
  happens for a plane. For example delayed cleanup work only happens
  _after_ the pageflip ioctl has completed. So this definitely doesn't
  work without the plane state holding its own references.

- The other issue is transition from legacy to atomic implementations,
  where the driver works under a mix of both worlds. Which means
  legacy paths might not properly update the ->fb pointer under
  plane->state->fb. Which is a bit a problem when then someone comes
  around and _does_ try to clean it up when it's long gone.

The second issue is just a bit a transition bug, since drivers should
update plane->state->fb in all the paths that aren't converted yet.
But a bit more robustness for the transition can't hurt - we pull
similar tricks with cleaning up the old fb in the transitional helpers
already.

The pattern for drivers that transition is

	if (plane->state)
		drm_atomic_set_fb_for_plane(plane->state, plane->fb);

inserted after the fb update has logically completed at the end of
->set_config (or ->set_base/mode_set if using the crtc helpers),
->page_flip, ->update_plane or any other entry point which updates
plane->fb.

v2: Update kerneldoc - copypasta fail.

v3: Fix spelling in the commit message (Sean).
