When DRM and DRM_KMS_HELPER are built as modules the above will cause the
following build error:

depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: drm_kms_helper -> drm -> drm_kms_helper
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!

Using __drm_atomic_helper_private_obj_duplicate_state will add the
drm.ko->drm_kms_helper.ko dependency but drm_kms_helper.ko already
depends on drm.ko
