drm: Add consistency check for page-flipping
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.
