Now that the fbdev helper interface for drivers is trimmed down,
update the kerneldoc for all the remaining exported functions.

I've tried to beat the DocBook a bit by reordering the function
references a bit into a more sensible ordering. But that didn't work
out at all. Hence just extend the in-code DOC: section a bit.

Also remove the LOCKING: sections - especially for the setup functions
they're totally bogus. But that's not a documentation problem, but
simply an artifact of the current rather hazardous locking around drm
init and even more so around fbdev setup ...
