drm/i915/gvt: Change KVMGT as self load module



This trys to make 'kvmgt' module as self loadable instead of loading
by i915/gvt device model. So hypervisor specific module could be
stand-alone, e.g only after loading hypervisor specific module, GVT
feature could be enabled via specific hypervisor interface, e.g VFIO/mdev.

So this trys to use hypervisor module register/unregister interface
for that. Hypervisor module needs to take care of module reference
itself when working for hypervisor interface, e.g for VFIO/mdev,
hypervisor module would reference counting mdev when open and release.

This makes 'kvmgt' module really split from GVT device model. User
needs to load 'kvmgt' to enable VFIO/mdev interface.

v6:
- remove unused variable

v5:
- put module reference in register error path

v4:
- fix checkpatch warning

v3:
- Fix module reference handling for device open and release. Unused
  mdev devices would be cleaned up in device unregister when module unload.

v2:
- Fix kvmgt order after i915 for built-in case
