[PATCH v2] drm/i915/display: Handle struct drm_plane_state.ignore_damage_clips

Calling drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_damage() in plane_atomic_check()
before copying the damage information guarantees that ignore_damage_clips
from struct drm_plane_state has the correct value. Although i915 does not
directly modify or use the flag, DRM's damage iterator will soon rely on
it.

Git commit 35ed38d58257 ("drm: Allow drivers to indicate the damage
helpers to ignore damage clips") introduced ignore_damage_clips to
selectively ignore damage clipping for certain framebuffer changes. The
mode-setting pipeline can disabled damage clippings for an atomic commit
by setting ignore_damage_clips in struct drm_plane_state. The atomic
commit will then do a full display update.

Future directions: there's currently a multitude of options that affect
damage clipping; with different places seeing different state. In order
to unify this, drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state() will soon evaluate
all options in a single place and set ignore_damage_clips accordingly. All
later stages of the mode-setting pipeline will only look at this field.

v2:
- move _check_plane_damage() before reading damage first time (Sashiko)
- expand commit description
