Staging: udlfb: explicit dependencies and warnings

Specify Kconfig dependencies, and include warnings for building as a module

udlfb is dependent on FB_DEFERRED_IO, FB_SYS_*, and FB_MODE_HELPERS

Because many kernels do not include defio (which cannot be built
as a module), yet users want to be able to build udlfb as a module later,
udlfb has ifdefs and these dependency warnings to help udlfb build with or
without certain dependencies, but also print warnings for any lost function.

Even though this kind of flexibility isn't common, we've gotten feedback
from a significant portion of users that they were frustrated without it.

This is an experimental driver for DisplayLink USB devices
that provides a framebuffer device. A normal framebuffer can
be used with this driver, or xorg can be run on the device
using it.
This is a kernel framebuffer driver for DisplayLink USB devices.
Supports fbdev clients like xf86-video-fbdev, kdrive, fbi, and
mplayer -vo fbdev. Supports all USB 2.0 era DisplayLink devices.
To compile as a module, choose M here: the module name is udlfb.
