This trivial change makes it all build:

but this needs some more testing to make sure it doesn't add
any other regressions.

Interestingly, I never hit the problem in randconfig testing since
there is always some '=y' driver that selects DRM_KMS_HELPER.

Thomas had posted a patch that also fixes the problem.
Somehow I missed seeing that the first time around.

Ah right, I missed that as well. That patch seems reasonable
to me, but I think we may want both of them in this case, as
it does not address DRM_GEM_CMA_HELPER being set to =y
when it is only used from modules.
