drm: document DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB2
There are a few details specific to the GETFB2 IOCTL.
It's not immediately clear how user-space should check for the
number of planes. Suggest using the handles field or the pitches
field.
The modifier array is filled with zeroes, ie. DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR.
So explicitly tell user-space to not look at it unless the flag is
set.
Changes in v2 (Daniel):
- Mention that handles should be used to compute the number of planes,
and only refer to pitches as a fallback.
- Reword bit about undefined modifier.
