While pinning a fb object to the display plane, only install a fence

criteria is determined only for objects with normal views.

v2:
Look at the object's map_and_fenceable flag to determine whether to
install a fence or not (Chris).

This will now get the fence and pin it for the 90/270 view as well,
even though the fence doesn't even cover that particualr gtt mapping.

I don't follow. obj->map_and_fenceable will be true only when normal
view exists, so this avoids setting up the fence when no normal view
exists and so avoids the WARN_ON in i915_gem_object_get_fence.

Sure, but it's pointless to use up a fence if all we care about
is the 90/270 mapping.

After a brief IRC discussion we agreed that the patch doesn't introduce any new negative behaviours.

But in general it may be beneficial to revisit the approach of always installing fences. Especially as the number of pipes and planes grows and if number of fences remains static.

Tvrtko
