[PATCH v2] drm/fb-helper: pass physical dimensions to fbdev

The fbdev subsystem has a place for physical dimensions (width and height
in mm) that is readable by userspace. Since DRM also knows these
dimensions, pass this information to the fbdev device.

v1 changes (from RFC):
* Use loop to get info from first connected connector instead of just the
  first connector.

v2 changes:
* Update width in height in drm_setup_crtcs() also to handle hotplug events.


As mentioned in the comments below, drm_setup_crtcs() can't set these values
during init because the data structure hasn't been allocated yet, so we end up
doing the same thing in two different places.
