Properties, i.e. the struct drm_property specifying the type and value
range of a property, not the instantiation on a given object, are
invariant over the lifetime of a driver.
Hence no locking at all is needed, we can just remove it.
While at it give the function some love and simplify it, to get it
under the 80 char limit:
- Straighten the loops to reduce the nesting.
- use u64_to_user_ptr casting helper
- use put_user for fixed u64 copies.
Note there's a small behavioural change in that we now copy parts of
the values to userspace if the arrays are a bit too small. Since
userspace will immediately retry anyway, this doesn't matter.

For consistency with other reference counting APIs in the kernel, add
drm_property_blob_get() and drm_property_blob_put() to reference count
DRM blob properties.
Compatibility aliases are added to keep existing code working. To help
speed up the transition, all the instances of the old functions in the
DRM core are already replaced in this commit.
A semantic patch is provided that can be used to convert all drivers to
the new helpers.

Subsequent patches will introduce reference counting APIs that are more
consistent with similar APIs throughout the Linux kernel. These APIs use
the _get() and _put() suffixes and will collide with this existing
function.
Rename the function to drm_mode_object_add() which is a slightly more
accurate description of what it does. Also the kerneldoc for this
function gives an indication that it's badly named because it doesn't
actually acquire a reference to anything.
