drm/fb-helper: Add multi buffer support for cma fbdev
This patch add a config to support to create multi buffer for cma fbdev. Such as double buffer and triple buffer. Cma fbdev is convient to add a legency fbdev. And still many Android devices use fbdev now and at least double buffer is needed for these Android devices, so that a buffer flip can be operated. It will need some time for Android device vendors to abondon legency fbdev. So multi buffer for fbdev is needed.
