drm/i915: Fix modeset state confusion in the load detect code

This is a tricky story of the new atomic state handling and the legacy
code fighting over each another. The bug at hand is an underrun of the
framebuffer reference with subsequent hilarity caused by the load
detect code. Which is peculiar since the the exact same code works
fine as the implementation of the legacy setcrtc ioctl.

Let's look at the ingredients:

- Currently our code is a crazy mix of legacy modeset interfaces to
  set the parameters and half-baked atomic state tracking underneath.
  While this transition is going we're using the transitional plane
  helpers to update the atomic side (drm_plane_helper_disable/update
  and friends), i.e. plane->state->fb. Since the state structure owns
  the fb those functions take care of that themselves.

  The legacy state (specifically crtc->primary->fb) is still managed
  by the old code (and mostly by the drm core), with the fb reference
  counting done by callers (core drm for the ioctl or ...
