[PATCH RFC v4 01/16] drm: Add drm_minor_for_each

Hi Daniel,

This is the previous patch relevant to this discussion:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/314343/

So before I refactored the code to leverage drm_minor, I kept my own list
of "known" drm_device inside the controller and have explicit register and
unregister function to init per device cgroup defaults.  For v4, I
refactored the per device cgroup properties and embedded them into the
drm_device and continue to only use the primary minor as a way to index the
device as v3.

Regards,
Kenny
