[PATCH 1/3] drm/i915: allocate mock file pointer dynamically

A struct file is a bit too large to put on the kernel stack in general
and triggers a warning for low settings of CONFIG_FRAME_WARN:

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/selftests/mock_drm.c: In function 'mock_file':
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/selftests/mock_drm.c:46:1: error: the frame size of 1328 bytes is larger than 1280 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/selftests/mock_drm.c: In function 'mock_file_free':
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/selftests/mock_drm.c:54:1: error: the frame size of 1312 bytes is larger than 1280 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

It's also slightly dangerous to leave a reference to a stack object
in the drm_file structure after leaving the stack frame.
This changes the code to just allocate the object dynamically
and release it when we are done with it.
