Jocelyn Falempe c9ff280879 drm/panic: Add support to scanout buffer as array of pages ...

Some drivers like virtio-gpu, don't map the scanout buffer in the
kernel. Calling vmap() in a panic handler is not safe, and writing an
atomic_vmap() API is more complex than expected [1].
So instead, pass the array of pages of the scanout buffer to the
panic handler, and map only one page at a time to draw the pixels.
This is obviously slow, but acceptable for a panic handler.
