drm: Provide a driver hook for drm_dev_release()
Some state is coupled into the device lifetime outside of the load/unload timeframe and requires teardown during final unreference from drm_dev_release(). For example, dmabufs hold both a device and module reference and may live longer than expected (i.e. the current pattern of the driver tearing down its state and then releasing a reference to the drm device) and yet touch driver private state when destroyed. v2: Export drm_dev_fini() and move the responsibility for finalizing the drm_device and freeing it to the release callback. (If no callback is provided, the core will call drm_dev_fini() and kfree(dev) as before.) v3: Remember to add drm_dev_fini() to drm_drv.h v4: Tidy language for kerneldoc v5: Cross reference from drm_dev_init() to note that driver->release() allows for arbitrary embedding. v6: Refer to driver data rather than driver state, as state is now becoming associated with the struct drm_atomic_state and friends.
