drm_getclient, drm_getstats and drm_getmap (with a few minor
adjustments) do not need global mutex, so fix that and
make the said ioctls DRM_UNLOCKED. Details:
drm_getclient: the only thing that should be protected here
is dev->filelist and that is already protected everywhere with
dev->struct_mutex.
drm_getstats: there is no need for any mutex here because the
loop runs through quasi-static (set at load time only)
data, and the actual count access is done with atomic_read()
drm_getmap already uses dev->struct_mutex to protect
dev->maplist, which also used to protect the same structure
everywhere else except at three places:
* drm_getsarea, which doesn't grab *any* mutex before
touching dev->maplist (so no drm_global_mutex doesn't help
here either; different issue for a different patch).
However, drivers seem to call it only at
initialization time so it probably doesn't matter
* drm_master_destroy, which is called from drm_master_put,
which in turn is protected with dev->struct_mutex
everywhere else in drm module, so we are good here too.
* drm_getsareactx, which releases the dev->struct_mutex
too early, but this patch includes the fix for that.
v2: * incorporate comments received from Daniel Vetter
* include the (long) explanation above to make it clear what
we are doing (and why), also at Daniel Vetter's request
* tighten up mutex grab/release locations to only
encompass real critical sections, rather than some
random code around them

It's not used by any driver. The destructor callback is unfortunately
used by the via driver in a rather convoluted piece of code used
to reimplement something resembling broken futexes. I didn't dare
to touch this code. But at least kill the needless NULL assignemt
in the sis driver.

It hasn't been used in ages, and having the user tell your how much
memory is being freed at free time is a recipe for disaster even if it
was ever used.

Once upon a time, the DRM made the distinction between the drm_map
data structure exchanged with user space and the drm_local_map used
in the kernel.
For some reasons, while the BSD port still has that "feature", the
linux part abused drm_map for kernel internal usage as the local
map only existed as a typedef of the struct drm_map.
This patch fixes it by declaring struct drm_local_map separately
(though its content is currently identical to the userspace variant),
and changing the kernel code to only use that, except when it's a
user<->kernel interface (ie. ioctl).
This allows subsequent changes to the in-kernel format
I've also replaced the use of drm_local_map_t with struct drm_local_map
in a couple of places. Mostly by accident but they are the same (the
former is a typedef of the later) and I have some remote plans and
half finished patch to completely kill the drm_local_map_t typedef
so I left those bits in.

This is step one towards having multiple masters sharing a drm
device in order to get fast-user-switching to work.
It splits out the information associated with the drm master
into a separate kref counted structure, and allocates this when
a master opens the device node. It also allows the current master
to abdicate (say while VT switched), and a new master to take over
the hardware.
It moves the Intel and radeon drivers to using the sarea from
within the new master structures.

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.
This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.
It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
