drm: Sanitize DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB input

Some drivers erroneously treat the .pitch and .size fields of struct
drm_mode_create_dumb as inputs. While the include/uapi/drm/drm_mode.h
header has a comment denoting them as outputs, that seemingly wasn't
enough to make drivers use them properly.

The result is that some userspace doesn't explicitly zero out those
fields, assuming that the kernel won't use them. That causes problems
since the data within the structure might be uninitialized, so bogus
data may end up confusing drivers (ridiculously large values for the
pitch, ...).

This series attempts to improve the situation by fixing all drivers to
not use the output fields. Furthermore to spare new drivers this bad
surprise, the DRM core now zeros out these fields prior to handing the
data structure to the driver.

Lessons learned from this are that future IOCTLs should be properly
documented (in the DRM DocBook for example) and should be rigorously
defined. To prevent misuse like this, userspace should be required to
zero out all output fields. The kernel should check for this and fail
if that's not the case.

The only user I could dig out was i915 back when ums+gem was still a
thing. But we've just very much killed that, and even when someone
screams about that we should resurrect that with a special hack
(wrapping drm_gem_mmap) in i915, not in the core code.

So good riddance to another entry point of the legacy buffer mapping
code.

This way drivers can't grow crazy ideas any more, and it also
helps a bit in reviewing EXPORT_SYMBOLS.

v2: Even more stuff. Unfortunately we can't move drm_vm_open_locked
because exynos does some horrible stuff with it.

<title>drm/gem: remove misleading gfp parameter to get_pages()</title>

<id>0cdbe8ac696b5399327f972a1c91263c1a44f1d9</id>
<content type='text'>
drm_gem_get_pages() currently allows passing a 'gfp' parameter that is
passed to shmem combined with mapping_gfp_mask(). Given that the default
mapping_gfp_mask() is GFP_HIGHUSER, it is _very_ unlikely that anyone will
ever make use of that parameter. In fact, all drivers currently pass
redundant flags or 0.

This patch removes the 'gfp' parameter. The only reason to keep it is to
remove flags like __GFP_WAIT. But in its current form, it can only be used
to add flags. So to remove __GFP_WAIT, you'd have to drop it from the
mapping_gfp_mask, which again is stupid as this mask is used by shmem-core
for other allocations, too.

If any driver ever requires that parameter, we can introduce a new helper
that takes the raw 'gfp' parameter. The caller'd be responsible to combine
it with mapping_gfp_mask() in a suitable way. The current
drm_gem_get_pages() helper would then simply use mapping_gfp_mask() and
call the new helper. This is what shmem_read_mapping_pages{_gfp,} does
right now.

Moreover, the gfp-zone flag-usage is not obvious: If you pass a modified
zone, shmem core will WARN() or even BUG(). In other words, the following
must be true for 'gfp' passed to shmem_read_mapping_pages_gfp():
    gfp_zone(mapping_gfp_mask(mapping)) == gfp_zone(gfp)
Add a comment to drm_gem_read_pages() explaining that constraint.
