[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v14 5/7] vfio: ABI for mdev display dma-buf operation

Add VFIO_DEVICE_QUERY_GFX_PLANE ioctl command to let user mode query and
get the plan and its related information. This ioctl can be invoked with:
1) either flag DMABUF or REGION is set. Vendor driver returns success and
the plane_info only when the specific kind of buffer is supported.
2) flag PROBE is set with either DMABUF or REGION. Vendor driver returns
success only when the specific kind of buffer is supported.

The dma-buf's life cycle is handled by user mode and tracked by kernel.
The returned fd in struct vfio_device_query_gfx_plane can be a new
fd or an old fd of a re-exported dma-buf. Host user mode can check the
value of fd and to see if it needs to create new resource according to
the new fd or just use the existed resource related to the old fd.

v14:
- add PROBE, DMABUF and REGION flags. (Alex)

v12:
- add drm_format_mod back. (Gerd and Zhenyu)
- add region_index. (Gerd)

v11:
- rename plane_type to drm_plane_type. (Gerd)
- move fields of vfio_device_query_gfx_plane to vfio_device_gfx_plane_info.
  (Gerd)
- remove drm_format_mod, start fields. (Daniel)
- remove plane_id.

v10:
- refine the ABI API VFIO_DEVICE_QUERY_GFX_PLANE. (Alex) (Gerd)

v3:
- add a field gvt_plane_info in the drm_i915_gem_obj structure to save
  the decoded plane information to avoid look up while need the plane
  info. (Gerd)
