drm/panic: Add a drm panic handler



This module displays a user friendly message when a kernel panic
occurs. It currently doesn't contain any debug information,
but that can be added later.

v2
 * Use get_scanout_buffer() instead of the drm client API.
  (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Add the panic reason to the panic message (Nerdopolis)
 * Add an exclamation mark (Nerdopolis)

v3
 * Rework the drawing functions, to write the pixels line by line and
 to use the drm conversion helper to support other formats.
 (Thomas Zimmermann)

v4
 * Use drm_fb_r1_to_32bit for fonts (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Remove the default y to DRM_PANIC config option (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Add foreground/background color config option
 * Fix the bottom lines not painted if the framebuffer height
   is not a multiple of the font height.
 * Automatically register the device to drm_panic, if the function
   get_scanout_buffer exists. (Thomas Zimmermann)

v5
 * Change the drawing API, use drm_fb_blit_from_r1() to draw the font.
 * Also add drm_fb_fill() to fill area with background color.
 * Add draw_pixel_xy() API for drivers that can't provide a linear buffer.
 * Add a flush() callback for drivers that needs to synchronize the buffer.
 * Add a void *private field, so drivers can pass private data to
   draw_pixel_xy() and flush().

v6
 * Fix sparse warning for panic_msg and logo.

v7
 * Add select DRM_KMS_HELPER for the color conversion functions.

v8
 * Register directly each plane to the panic notifier (Sima)
 * Add raw_spinlock to properly handle concurrency (Sima)
 * Register plane instead of device, to avoid looping through plane
   list, and simplify code.
 * Replace get_scanout_buffer() logic with drm_panic_set_buffer()
  (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Removed the draw_pixel_xy() API, will see later if it can be added back.

v9
 * Revert to using get_scanout_buffer() (Sima)
 * Move get_scanout_buffer() and panic_flush() to the plane helper
   functions (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Register all planes with get_scanout_buffer() to the panic notifier
 * Use drm_panic_lock() to protect against race (Sima)

v10
 * Move blit and fill functions back in drm_panic (Thomas Zimmermann).
 * Simplify the text drawing functions.
 * Use kmsg_dumper instead of panic_notifier (Sima).

v12
 * Use array for map and pitch in struct drm_scanout_buffer
   to support multi-planar format later. (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Better indent struct drm_scanout_buffer declaration. (Thomas Zimmermann)
