[PATCH v10] 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.

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 need to creat new resource according to the
new fd or just use the existed resource related to the old fd.
