drm/fb-helper: Use proper plane mask for fb cleanup

commit 7118fd9b upstream.

pan_display_atomic() calls drm_atomic_clean_old_fb() to sanitize the
legacy FB fields (plane->fb and plane->old_fb).  However it was building
the plane mask to pass to this function incorrectly (the bitwise OR was
using plane indices rather than plane masks).  The end result was that
sometimes the legacy pointers would become out of sync with the atomic
pointers.  If another operation tried to re-set the same FB onto the
plane, we might end up with the pointers back in sync, but improper
reference counts, which would eventually lead to system crashes when we
accessed a pointer to a prematurely-destroyed FB.

The cause here was a very subtle bug introduced in commit:

            drm/core: Fix old_fb handling in pan_display_atomic.

I found the crashes were most easily reproduced (on i915 at least) by
starting X and then VT switching to a VT that wasn't running a console
instance...the sequence of vt/fbcon entries that happen in that case
trigger a reference count mismatch and crash the system.
