Daniel Vetter b0b5849e0c drm: Add devm_drm_dev_alloc macro
Add a new macro helper to combine the usual init sequence in drivers,
consisting of a kzalloc + devm_drm_dev_init + drmm_add_final_kfree
triplet. This allows us to remove the rather unsightly
drmm_add_final_kfree from all currently merged drivers.

The kerneldoc is only added for this new function. Existing kerneldoc
and examples will be udated at the very end, since once all drivers
are converted over to devm_drm_dev_alloc we can unexport a lot of
interim functions and make the documentation for driver authors a lot
cleaner and less confusing. There will be only one true way to
initialize a drm_device at the end of this, which is going to be
devm_drm_dev_alloc.

v2:
- Actually explain what this is for in the commit message (Sam)
- Fix checkpatch issues (Sam)
