[PATCH] drm: Fix uabi regression by allowing garbage mode->type from userspace

[Ville Syrjala]

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

Apparently xf86-video-vmware leaves the mode->type uninitialized
when feeding the mode to the kernel. Thus we have no choice but
to accept the garbage in. We'll just ignore any of the bits we
don't want. The mode type is just a hint anyway, and more
useful for the kernel->userspace direction.
