drm: Drop modeset_lock_all from the getproperty ioctl



Properties, i.e. the struct drm_property specifying the type and value
range of a property, not the instantiation on a given object, are
invariant over the lifetime of a driver.

Hence no locking at all is needed, we can just remove it.

While at it give the function some love and simplify it, to get it
under the 80 char limit:
- Straighten the loops to reduce the nesting.
- use u64_to_user_ptr casting helper
- use put_user for fixed u64 copies.

Note there's a small behavioural change in that we now copy parts of
the values to userspace if the arrays are a bit too small. Since
userspace will immediately retry anyway, this doesn't matter.
