drm: Fix uabi regression by allowing garbage mode->type from userspace
Apparently xf86-video-vmware leaves the mode->type uninitialized when feeding the mode to the kernel. Thus we have no choice but to accept the garbage in. We'll just ignore any of the bits we don't want. The mode type is just a hint anyway, and more useful for the kernel->userspace direction.
