drm/gem: Update/Polish docs
A bunch of things have been removed meanwhile and docs not fully brought up to speed. And a few gaps closed where I noticed missing kerneldoc while reading through the overview sections.

DRM identifies the GEM object to be mapped by a fake offset passed
through the mmap offset argument. Prior to being mapped, a GEM object
must thus be associated with a fake offset. To do so, drivers must call

- function allocates a fake offset range from a pool and stores the
- offset divided by PAGE_SIZE in
- <literal>obj-&gt;map_list.hash.key</literal>. Care must be taken not to

Once allocated, the fake offset value

must be passed to the application in a driver-specific way and can then
be used as the mmap offset argument.
