drm/atomic: Add struct drm_crtc_commit to track async updates

Split out from my big nonblocking atomic commit helper code as prep
work. While add it, also add some neat asciiart to document how it's
supposed to be used.

v2: Resurrect misplaced hunk in the kerneldoc.

v3: Wording improvements from Liviu.

+ * is reference counted to allow waiters to safely wait on an event to complete,
+ * without holding any locks.

+ *						irq handler signals flip_done
+ *	cleanup old buffers
+ *
+ * 	signal cleanup_done
+ *
+ * 	wait for flip_done		<----
+ * 	clean up atomic state
+ *
+ * The important bit to know is that cleanup_done is the terminal event, but the
+ * ordering between flip_done and hw_done is entirely up to the specific driver
+ * and modeset state change.
+ *
+ * For an implementation of how to use this look at
+ * drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit() from the atomic helper library.
