drm/amd/display: Rework dsc to isolate FPU operations



When we want to use float point operation on Linux
we need to use within special kernel protection
(`kernel_fpu_{begin,end}()`.), otherwise the kernel
can clobber userspace FPU register state. For detecting
these issues we use a tool named objtool (with -Ffa
flags) to highlight the FPU problems, all warnings can
be summed up as follows:

./tools/objtool/objtool check -Ffa
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dml/dml_common_defs.o

[..] dc/dsc/rc_calc.o: warning: objtool: get_qp_set()+0x2f8:

This commit fixes the above issues by rework DSC as described:

1. Isolate all FPU operations in a single file;
2. Use FPU flags only in the file that handles FPU operations;
3. Isolate all functions that require float point operation in static
   functions;
4. Add a mid-layer function that does not use any float point operation,
   and that could be safely invoked in other parts of the code.
5. Keep float point operation under DC_FP_{START/END} macro.
