drm/i915: Introduce better global state handling
Our current global state handling is pretty ad-hoc. Let's try to make it better by imitating the standard drm core private object approach. The reason why we don't want to directly use the private objects is locking; Each private object has its own lock so if we introduce any global private objects we get serialized by that single lock across all pipes. The global state apporoach instead uses a read/write lock type of approach where each individual crtc lock counts as a read lock, and grabbing all the crtc locks allows one write access.
