Add a debugfs file, so you can test drm_panic without freezing
your machine. This is unsafe, and should be enabled only for
developer or tester.
To display the drm_panic screen on the device 0:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/drm_panic_plane_0
v9:
* Create a debugfs file for each plane in the device's debugfs
directory. This allows to test for each plane of each GPU
independently.
