Subject: [PATCH 2/7] drm/panic: remove unnecessary borrow in alignment_pattern

The function `alignment_pattern` returns a static reference to a `u8`
slice. The borrow of the returned element in `ALIGNMENT_PATTERNS` is
already a reference as defined in the array definition above so this
borrow is unnecessary and removed by the compiler. Clippy notes this in
`needless_borrow`:

    error: this expression creates a reference which is immediately dereferenced by the compiler
       --> drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.rs:245:9
        |
    245 |         &ALIGNMENT_PATTERNS[self.0 - 1]
        |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: change this to: `ALIGNMENT_PATTERNS[self.0 - 1]`
        |
        = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#needless_borrow
        = note: `-D clippy::needless-borrow` implied by `-D warnings`
        = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(clippy::needless_borrow)]`

Remove the unnecessary borrow.
