drm/panic: Do not select DRM_KMS_HELPER
[ Upstream commit e044e707fc97dac693691178cdf41fe1a8da928f ]
DRM core code cannot call into DRM helper code, as this would lead to
circular references in the modular case. Hence drop the selection of
DRM_KMS_HELPER. It was unused anyway, as v10 switched from using
the DRM format helpers to its own color format conversion, cfr. commit
9544309775c3 ("drm/panic: Add support for color format conversion").
Remove the unneeded include of <drm/drm_format_helper.h>.
Fixes: bf9fb17c6672 ("drm/panic: Add a drm panic handler")
