drm: Begin an API for in-kernel clients This the beginning of an API for in-kernel clients. First out is a way to get a framebuffer backed by a dumb buffer. Only GEM drivers are supported. The original idea of using an exported dma-buf was dropped because it also creates an anonomous file descriptor which doesn't work when the buffer is created from a kernel thread. The easy way out is to use drm_driver.gem_prime_vmap to get the virtual address, which requires a GEM object. This excludes the vmwgfx driver which is the only non-GEM driver apart from the legacy ones. A solution for vmwgfx will have to be worked out later if it wants to support the client API which it probably will when we have a bootsplash client.

drm/fb-helper: Remove drm_fb_helper_crtc struct drm_fb_helper_crtc is now just a wrapper around drm_mode_set so use that directly instead and attach it as a modeset array onto drm_client_dev. drm_fb_helper will use this array to store its modesets which means it will always initialize a drm_client, but it will not register the client (callbacks) unless it's the generic fbdev emulation. Code will later be moved to drm_client, so add code there in a new file drm_client_modeset.c with MIT license to match drm_fb_helper.c. The modeset connector array size is hardcoded for the cloned case to avoid having to pass in a value from the driver. A value of 8 is chosen to err on the safe side. This means that the max connector argument for drm_fb_helper_init() and drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup() isn't used anymore, a todo entry for this is added. In pan_display_atomic() restore_fbdev_mode_force() is used instead of restore_fbdev_mode_atomic() because that one will later become internal to drm_client_modeset.
