drm/i915: Demidlayer driver loading



Take control over allocating, loading and registering the driver from the
DRM midlayer by performing it manually from i915_pci_probe. This allows
us to carefully control the order of when we setup the hardware vs when
it becomes visible to third parties (including userspace). The current
ordering makes the driver visible to userspace first (in order to
coordinate with removed DRI1 userspace), but that ordering incurs risk.
The risk increases as we strive for more asynchronous loading.

One side effect of controlling the allocation is that we can allocate
both the drm_device + drm_i915_private in one block, the next step
towards subclassing.

Unload is still left as before, a mix of midlayer and driver.

v2: After drm_dev_init(), we should call drm_dev_unref() so that we call
drm_dev_release() and free everything from drm_dev_init().
v3: Fixup missed error code for failing to allocate dev_priv
