If a CRTC is missing a legacy primary plane pointer, a lot of things
will be broken for user-space: fbdev stops working and the entire legacy
uAPI stops working.

Require all drivers to populate drm_crtc.primary to prevent these
issues. Warn if it's NULL.

For context we even kinda guarantee that xrgb8888 is available, with
in-kernel conversion, because just too much of the simplistic userspace
falls over otherwise. If we don't have a primary plane then kms is
practically useless I think :-)
