drm: don't call ->firstopen for KMS drivers
It has way too much potential for driver writers to do stupid things like delayed hw setup because the load sequence is somehow racy (e.g. the imx driver in staging). So don't call it for modesetting drivers, which reduces the complexity of the drm core -> driver interface a notch. v2: Don't forget to update DocBook. v3: Go with Laurent's slightly more elaborate proposal for the DocBook update. Add a few words on top of his diff to elaborate a bit on what KMS drivers should and shouldn't do in lastclose. There was already a paragraph present talking about restoring properties, I've simply extended that one.
