[Issue]: dkms: false positive in HDMI/DP colorspace property checks due to missing AC_KERNEL_DO_BACKGROUND

Problem Description

Issue Description
The DKMS configure script produces false positives for drm_mode_create_hdmi_colorspace_property and drm_mode_create_dp_colorspace_property on older kernels (e.g., v5.17) that only support the 1-argument version of these functions.

Latent Bug Nature & Reproduction
This bug is currently masked in the vanilla AMDGPU tree purely due to macro execution order (preceding foreground tests happen to fail or not leave a valid conftest.o). However, it reliably breaks downstream forks or custom backports that introduce a successful foreground macro just before these colorspace checks.

Time-oriented Execution Flow & Root Cause
The issue stems from a missing sandbox isolation wrapper, which causes a sequential state contamination when combined with the Kbuild toolchain.

1. State Contamination: A prior synchronous test in the configuration sequence succeeds, leaving a valid conftest.o in the top-level build directory.
2. Missing Sandbox: AC_AMDGPU_DRM_MODE_CREATE_HDMI_COLORSPACE_PROPERTY is executed. Because it lacks the AC_KERNEL_DO_BACKGROUND wrapper, it runs synchronously in the same polluted top-level directory instead of a clean, isolated temporary directory (mktemp -d).
3. Compiler Failure: gcc fails to compile the 2-argument test code due to argument mismatch and exits. It does not overwrite or generate a new conftest.o.
4. Pipeline Deception: In x86 Kbuild environments, the compilation pipeline captured in $CFLAGS chains objtool execution with a semicolon (e.g., gcc ... -c -o conftest.o conftest.c ; objtool check ... conftest.o). The shell ignores gcc's exit code.
5. False Positive: objtool runs, validates the stale conftest.o left by step 1, and returns 0. AC_KERNEL_COMPILE_IFELSE catches this 0 and incorrectly defines HAVE_DRM_MODE_CREATE_HDMI_COLORSPACE_PROPERTY_2ARGS.

Suggested Fix
Wrap the affected macros in AC_KERNEL_DO_BACKGROUND to align with the existing concurrent probing architecture. This ensures they execute in ephemeral, isolated directories, completely avoiding stale object files.

Additional Information

No response

Start with m4/drm_mode_create_hdmi_colorspace_property.m4 and inspect existing uses of AC_KERNEL_DO_BACKGROUND alongside the two colorspace probes. Reproduce or verify the configure checks against Linux 5.17, then confirm both probes run in isolated directories and no stale conftest.o produces a false positive.
