drm: allocate minors early
Instead of waiting for device-registration, we now allocate minor-objects during device allocation. The minors are not registered or assigned an ID. This is still postponed to device-registration. While at it, remove the superfluous output-parameter in drm_get_minor(). The reason for this early allocation is to make dev->primary/control/render available atomically. So once the device is alive, all of them are already set and we never have the situation where one of them is set after another (they're either NULL or set, but never changed). This will eventually allow us to reduce minor-ID allocation to one base-ID instead of a single ID for each.
