drm: Add consistency check for page-flipping

Browse Source 
Driver implementations of the drm_crtc's .page_flip() function are
required to update the crtc->fb field on success to reflect that the new
framebuffer is now in use. This is important to keep reference counting
on the framebuffers balanced.

While at it, document this requirement to keep others from falling into
the same trap.

If a page flip can be successfully scheduled the driver must set the
<code>drm_crtc-&lt;fb</code> field to the new framebuffer pointed to
by <code>fb</code>. This is important so that the reference counting
on framebuffers stays balanced.
