drm/atmel-hlcdc: Simplify the HLCDC layer logic
An HLCDC layers in Atmel's nomenclature is either a DRM plane or a 'Post Processing Layer' which can be used to output the results of the HLCDC composition in a memory buffer. atmel_hlcdc_layer.c was designed to be generic enough to be re-usable in both cases, but we're not exposing the post-processing layer yet, and even if we were, I'm not sure the code would provide the necessary tools to manipulate this kind of layer. Moreover, the code in atmel_hlcdc_{plane,layer}.c was designed before the atomic modesetting API, and was trying solve the check-setting/commit-if-ok/rollback-otherwise problem, which is now entirely solved by the existing core infrastructure. And finally, the code in atmel_hlcdc_layer.c is over-complicated compared to what we really need. This rework is a good excuse to simplify it. Note that this rework solves an existing resource leak (leading to a -EBUSY error) which I failed to clearly identify.
