At one point, the GPU command verifier and user-space handle manager
couldn't properly protect GPU clients from accessing each other's data.
Instead there was an elaborate mechanism to make sure only the active
master's primary clients could render. The other clients were either
put to sleep or even killed (if the master had exited). VRAM was
evicted on master switch. With the advent of render-node functionality,
we relaxed the VRAM eviction, but the other mechanisms stayed in place.
Now that the GPU command verifier and ttm object manager properly
isolates primary clients from different master realms we can remove the
master switch related code and drop those legacy features.

Instead of generating user-space object handles based on a, possibly
processed, hash of the kernel address of the object, use idr to generate
and lookup those handles. This might improve somewhat on security since
we loose all connections to the object's kernel address. Also idr is
designed to do just this.
As a todo-item, since user-space handles are now generated in sequence,
we can probably use a much simpler hash function to hash them.

No other driver is using this functionality so move it out of TTM and
into the vmwgfx driver. Update includes and remove exports.
Also annotate to remove false static analyzer lock balance warnings.
