[RFC] drm: Add flag to make whole ioctl critical section for unplug

drm_dev_is_unplugged() check is inherently racy as unplug can happen
just after this check. Add DRM_UNPLUG_SAFE ioctl flag to keep
the whole ioctl func call within drm_dev_enter() ... drm_dev_exit().

This could be enabled by drivers for individual ioctl's .
