drm/fbdev-generic: Always use shadow buffering

Remove all codepaths that implement fbdev output directly on GEM
buffers. Always allocate a shadow buffer in system memory and set
up deferred I/O for mmap.

The fbdev code that operated directly on GEM buffers was used by
drivers based on GEM DMA helpers. Those drivers have been migrated
to use fbdev-dma, a dedicated fbdev emulation for DMA memory. All
remaining users of fbdev-generic require shadow buffering.

Memory management of the remaining callers uses TTM, GEM SHMEM
helpers or a variant of GEM DMA helpers that is incompatible with
fbdev-dma. Therefore remove the unused codepaths from fbdev-generic
and simplify the code.

Using a shadow buffer with deferred I/O is probably the best case
for most remaining callers. Some of the TTM-based drivers might
benefit from a dedicated fbdev emulation that operates directly on
the driver's video memory.
