drm/i915: add register read IOCTL
The interface's immediate purpose is to do synchronous timestamp queries
as required by GL_TIMESTAMP. The GPU has a register for reading the
timestamp but because that would normally require root access through
libpciaccess, the IOCTL can provide this service instead.
Currently the implementation whitelists only the render ring timestamp
register, because that is the only thing we need to expose at this time.
v2: make size implicit based on the register offset
Add a generation check
