[PATCH v2 2/2] drm/self_refresh: Disable self-refresh on input events

To improve panel self-refresh exit latency, we speculatively start
exiting when we
receive input events. Occasionally, this may lead to false positives,
but most of the time we get a head start on coming out of PSR. Depending
on how userspace takes to produce a new frame in response to the event,
this can completely hide the exit latency.

In local tests on Chrome OS (Rockchip RK3399 eDP), we've found that the
input notifier gives us about a 50ms head start over the
fb-update-initiated exit.

Leverage a new drm_input_helper library to get easy access to
likely-relevant input event callbacks.

  [PATCH v6 24/30] drm/rockchip: Disable PSR on input events

with significant rewrites/reworks:

 - moved to common drm_input_helper and drm_self_refresh_helper
   implementation
 - track state only through crtc->state->self_refresh_active

Note that I'm relatively unfamiliar with DRM locking expectations, but I
believe access to drm_crtc->state (which helps us track redundant
transitions) is OK under the locking provided by
drm_atomic_get_crtc_state().

Changes in v2:
 - Delay PSR re-entry, when already disabled
 - Allow default configuration via Kconfig and modparam
 - Replace void* with container_of()
