System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.8.0-7630-generic-x86_64-with-debian-bullseye-sid 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (NAVI10, DRM 3.38.0, 5.8.0-7630-generic, LLVM 11.0.0) X.Org 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 20.2.1

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.92.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2020-11-25 14:18, hash: 436fd5663e
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
When entering 'Draw' mode, the Viewport Overlay option: Fade Inactive Geometry is not available. (Currently only available in 'Edit' Mode) This should be added to the 'Draw' Mode Viewport Overlay UI in order to disable the Fade Inactive Geometry

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Waking up, starting up computer, opening Blender.
Creating a grease pencil object, and entering 'Draw Mode'.
Immediately the viewport fades darker grey. Opening the 'viewport overlay' dropdown menu.
Frantically looking for the 'Fade Inactive Objects' checkbox. It... is.. not.. there..

Going back into object mode. creates a cube. with the cube selected, going into 'Edit Mode'.
Checking the 'viewport overlay' dropdown menu.

And Viola! the 'Fade Inactive Objects' checkbox is there. (Smashes the checkbox to disable the fade)
Having this option also in 'Draw Mode' would be preferrable to turn of the fade.

[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

This was changed because that option does not affect grease pencil objects, but as it affects the rest of the scene, I think it should always be there.

@dfelinto If I could, I would ~~vote for~~ commit D10215: Fix #83398: Fade inactive geometry overlay option not visible depending on the mode to be in 2.93.
