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.
