The function's behaviour was changed in 90844f0004, without changing
its signature, causing people to keep using it the old way without
realising they were now leaking memory.
Rob Clark also noticed it was also allocating GFP_KERNEL memory in
atomic contexts, breaking them.
Instead of having to allocate GFP_ATOMIC memory and fixing the callers
to make them cleanup the memory afterwards, let's change the function's
signature by having the caller take care of the memory and passing it to
the function.
The new parameter is a single-field struct in order to enforce the size
of its buffer and help callers to correctly manage their memory.

Just pure code movement, cleanup and polish will happen in later
patches.
v2: Don't forget all the ioctl! To extract those cleanly I decided to
put check_src_coords into drm_framebuffer.c (and give it a
drm_framebuffer_ prefix), since that just checks framebuffer
constraints.
v3: rebase over PAGE_FLIP_TARGET.

drm: Reject page_flip for !DRIVER_MODESET
so as a result of moving the page_flip ioctl, this fix has
been rolled into this patch.
