Caps can only be set one at a time. I was trying to cater for the cases
where userspace can set the WRITEBACK_CONNECTORS client cap before or
after setting the atomic cap.

I could still keep the check for file_priv->atomic being set when
accepting the DRM_CLIENT_CAP_WRITEBACK_CONNECTORS and would not need a
warn.
