Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When AMD GPU is a GPU screen using reverse prime and its the only display, the fresh rate is very slow.

  [Fix]
  Enable present extension for GPU screen so it can be a viable CRTC to be selected.

  [Test]
  On a I+A laptop and external displays are routed to AMDGPU, disable internal display like closing lid can observe the issue.

  With the fix applied, the external display becomes very smooth.

  [Where problems could occur]
  I personally don't see why GPU screen can't use present extension, but this is Xorg so there might be some arcane reasons I didn't think of.
