After splitting generic drm_fb_helper into it's own file it's left to
helper implementation to have fb_dirty function. Currently intel
fb doesn't have it. This is causing problems to features (PSR, FBC, DRRS)
relying on dirty callback.

Implement simple fb_dirty callback to deliver notifications about updates
in fb console.

If this is only required for the kernel console, you maybe want to rather change the fb_ops.

The kernel console only uses fb_fillrect, fb_copyarea and fb_imageblit. [1] Something simple as

void intel_fbdev_fillrect(...)
{
        drm_fb_helper_cfb_fillrect();

        /* comment on PSR problems */   
        fb->funcs->dirty()
}

should work. Same for the other two helpers.

Not using fb_dirty will also avoid the fbdev's internal damage worker, which is otherwise scheduled for each console update.

Best regards
Thomas
