Even if we don't return an error when ->load_tracker_enabled is false,
we should keep updating the ->{hvs,membus}_load state, otherwise those
fields will contain bad values if we activate the load tracker after
the planes have been enabled.

I suggest moving this test in vc4_load_tracker_atomic_check() just
before

	if (load_state->membus_load > SZ_1G + SZ_512M)
