[PATCH v4 2/2] Documentation/gpu: Add fdinfo meanings of drm-*-internal memory tags

A previous commit enabled display of driver-internal kernel BO sizes
through the device file's fdinfo interface.

Expand the description of the relevant driver-specific key:value pairs
with the definitions of the new drm-*-internal ones.

+Possible `drm-*-internal` key names are: `total`, `active` and `resident`.
+These values convey the sizes of the internal driver-owned shmem BO's that
+aren't exposed to user-space through a DRM handle, like queue ring buffers,
+sync object arrays and heap chunks. Because they are all allocated and pinned
+at creation time, `drm-resident-internal` and `drm-total-internal` should always
+be equal. `drm-active-internal` shows the size of kernel BO's associated with
+VM's and groups currently being scheduled for execution by the GPU.
+`drm-shared-memory` is unused at present, but in the future it might stand for
+the size of the Firmware regions, since they do not belong to an open file context.
