drm/ioctl: Ditch DRM_UNLOCKED except for the legacy vblank ioctl
This completes Emil's series of removing DRM_UNLOCKED from modern
drivers. It's entirely cargo-culted since we ignore it on
non-DRIVER_LEGACY drivers since:

drm: Enforce unlocked ioctl operation for kms driver ioctls
Now justifying why we can do this for legacy drives too (and hence
close the source of all the bogus copypasting) is a bit more involved.
DRM_UNLOCKED was introduced in:

drm: convert drm_ioctl to unlocked_ioctl
As a immediate hack to keep i810 happy, which would have deadlocked
without this trickery. The old BKL is automatically dropped in
schedule(), and hence the i810 vs. mmap_sem deadlock didn't actually
cause a real deadlock. But with a mutex it would. The solution was to
annotate these as DRM_UNLOCKED and mark i810 unsafe on SMP machines.
This conversion caused a regression, because unlike the BKL a mutex
isn't dropped over schedule (that thing again), which caused a vblank
wait in one thread to block the entire desktop and all its apps. Back
then we did vblank scheduling by blocking in the client, awesome isn't
it. This was fixed quickly in (ok not so quickly, took 2 years):

drm: do not sleep on vblank while holding a mutex
All the other DRM_UNLOCKED annotations for all the core ioctls was
work to reach finer-grained locking for modern drivers. This took
years, and culminated in:

drm: Enforce BKL-less ioctls for modern drivers
DRM_UNLOCKED was never required by any legacy drivers, except for the
vblank_wait IOCTL. Therefore we will not regress these old drivers by
going back to where we've been in 2011. For all modern drivers nothing
will change.
To make this perfectly clear, also add a comment to DRM_UNLOCKED.
v2: Don't forget about drm_ioc32.c (Michel).
