[PATCH v4 3/3] drm: Introduce skip_legacy_minors modparam

While there is support for >64 DRM devices on kernel side, existing
userspace may still have some hardcoded assumptions and it's possible
that it will require changes to be able to use more than 64 devices.
Add a modparam to simplify testing and development of >64 devices
support on userspace side by allocating minors from the >=192 range
(without the need of having >64 physical devices connected).
