Subject: [PATCH] drm: msm: Fix return type of dsi_mgr_connector_mode_valid for kCFI

I was hitting kCFI crashes when building with clang, and after
some digging finally narrowed it down to the
dsi_mgr_connector_mode_valid() function being implemented as
returning an int, instead of an enum drm_mode_status.

This patch fixes it, and appeases the opaque word of the kCFI
gods (seriously, clang inlining everything makes the kCFI
backtraces only really rough estimates of where things went
wrong).

Thanks as always to Sami for his help narrowing this down.

John, thanks for fixing this. Our inliner is a point of pride
(inlining indirect function calls; you're welcome). ;)
Indeed, the function pointer member `mode_valid` in `struct
drm_connector_helper_funcs` in
include/drm/drm_modeset_helper_vtables.h returns an `enum
drm_mode_status`.
