drm: document DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE

Browse source 
This is a bit tricky, because of the ref'counting considerations.
See also [1] for more discussion about this topic. Since this is
kernel docs, I've decided to elaborate a bit less on the user-space
details.

/**
* DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE - Close a GEM handle.
*
* GEM handles are not reference-counted by the kernel. User-space is
* responsible for managing their lifetime. For example, if user-space imports
* the same memory object twice on the same DRM file description, the same GEM
* handle is returned by both imports, and user-space needs to ensure
* &DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE is performed once only. The same situation can happen
* when a memory object is allocated, then exported and imported again on the
* same DRM file description. The &DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB2 IOCTL is an exception
* and always returns fresh new GEM handles even if an existing GEM handle
* already refers to the same memory object before the IOCTL is performed.
