Daniel Vetter 468174f748 drm: push modeset_lock_all into ->fb_create driver callbacks
And drop it where it's not needed. Most driver just lookup the gem
object, allocate an fb struct, fill in all the useful fields and then
register it with drm_framebuffer_init.

All of these operations are already separately locked, and since we
only put the fb into the fpriv->fbs list _after_ having called
->fb_create, we can't also race with rmfb. We can otoh race with other
ioctls that put the framebuffer to use, but all drivers have been
reorganized already to call drm_framebuffer_init last in the fb
creation sequence.

So essentially, we can completely remove any modeset locks from the
addfb ioctl paths. Yeah!

Also, reference-counting is solid - we get a reference from fb_create
which we transfer to the fpriv->fbs list. And after unlocking the
fpriv->fbs_lock we don't touch the framebuffer any longer. Furthermore
drm_framebuffer_init has added a 2nd reference for the idr lookup, and
any access through that table will do it's own refcounting.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
