drm/doc: Document drm_file.[hc]
Well, mostly drm_file.h, and clean up all related things: - I didnt' figure out the difference between preclose and postclose. The existing explanation in drm-internals.rst didn't convince me, since it's also really outdated - we clean up pending DRM events in the core nowadays. I put a FIXME in for the future. - Another FIXME is to have a macro for default fops. - Lots of links all around, main areas are to tie the overview in drm_file.c more into the callbacks in struct drm_device, and the other is to link render/primary node code to the right sections in drm-uapi.rst. - Also moved the open/close stuff to drm_drv.h from drm-internals.rst, seems like the better place for that information. Since that section was rather outdated this amounted to full-on rewrite. A big missing piece here is some overview graph, but I think better to wait with that one until drm_device and drm_driver are also fully documented. v2: Nits from Sean.

Open/Close, File Operations and IOCTLs
======================================
-Open and Close
---------------
-
-Open and close handlers. None of those methods are mandatory::
-
- int (*firstopen) (struct drm_device *);
- void (*lastclose) (struct drm_device *);
- int (*open) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
- void (*preclose) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
- void (*postclose) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
-
-The firstopen method is called by the DRM core for legacy UMS (User Mode
-Setting) drivers only when an application opens a device that has no
-other opened file handle. UMS drivers can implement it to acquire device
-resources. KMS drivers can't use the method and must acquire resources
-in the load method instead.
-
-Similarly the lastclose method is called when the last application
-holding a file handle opened on the device closes it, for both UMS and
-KMS drivers. Additionally, the method is also called at module unload
-time or, for hot-pluggable devices, when the device is unplugged. The
-firstopen and lastclose calls can thus be unbalanced.
-
-The open method is called every time the device is opened by an
-application. Drivers can allocate per-file private data in this method
-and store them in the struct :c:type:`struct drm_file
-<drm_file>` driver_priv field. Note that the open method is
-called before firstopen.
-
-The close operation is split into preclose and postclose methods.
-Drivers must stop and cleanup all per-file operations in the preclose
-method. For instance pending vertical blanking and page flip events must
-be cancelled. No per-file operation is allowed on the file handle after
-returning from the preclose method.
-
-Finally the postclose method is called as the last step of the close
-operation, right before calling the lastclose method if no other open
-file handle exists for the device. Drivers that have allocated per-file
-private data in the open method should free it here.
-
-The lastclose method should restore CRTC and plane properties to default
-value, so that a subsequent open of the device will not inherit state
-from the previous user. It can also be used to execute delayed power
-switching state changes, e.g. in conjunction with the :ref:`vga_switcheroo`
-infrastructure. Beyond that KMS drivers should not do any
-further cleanup. Only legacy UMS drivers might need to clean up device
-state so that the vga console or an independent fbdev driver could take
-over.
