[PATCH 11/14] drm: Remove locking for legacy ioctls and DRM_UNLOCKED

Modern DRM drivers acquire ioctl locks by themselves. Legacy ioctls
for user-space mode setting used to acquire drm_global_mutex. After
removing the ioctl entry points, also remove the locking code. The only
legacy ioctl without global locking was VBLANK_WAIT, which has been
removed as well. Hence remove the related DRM_UNLOCKED flag.
