drm/i915: enable FBC on gen9+ too
Gen9+ platforms have been seeing a lot of screen flickerings and underruns, so I never felt comfortable in enabling FBC on these platforms since I didn't want to throw yet another feature on top of the already complex problem. We now have code that automatically disables FBC if we ever get an underrun, and the screen flickerings seem to be mostly gone, so it may be a good time to try to finally enable FBC by default on the newer platforms. Besides, BDW FBC has been working fine over the year, which gives me a little more confidence now. For a little more information, please refer to commit a98ee793 ("drm/i915/fbc: enable FBC by default on HSW and BDW"). v2: Enable not only on SKL, but for everything new (Daniel). v3: Rebase after the intel_sanitize_fbc_option() change. v4: New rebase after 8 months, drop expired R-B tags.
