[01/10] drm: Let userspace check if driver supports modeset

Commit Message

GPU accelerators usually don't have display block or the display
driver part can be disabled when building driver(for servers it saves
some resources) so it is important let userspace check this
capability too.

Right now we are checking
drmModeGetResources()/drm_mode_getresources() for a error to detect
if display is enabled but it is a hackish way it can fail for other
reasons too.
