drm: Add a hash-tab rcu-safe API
While hashtab should now be RCU-safe, Add a drm_ht_xxx_api for consumers
to use to make it obvious what locking mechanism is used.
Document the way the rcu-safe interface should be used.
Don't use rcu-safe list traversal in modify operations where we should use
a spinlock / mutex anyway.
