drm/doc: drop struct_mutex references 

There's little point in providing partial and ancient information about
the struct_mutex. Some drivers are using it, new ones should not.

As-it this only provides for confusion.

--------------------
All GEM objects are reference-counted by the GEM core. References can be
acquired and release by calling drm_gem_object_get() and drm_gem_object_put()
respectively. The caller must hold the :c:type:`struct drm_device <drm_device>`
struct_mutex lock when calling drm_gem_object_get(). As a convenience, GEM
provides drm_gem_object_put_unlocked() functions that can be called without
holding the lock.

When the last reference to a GEM object is released the GEM core calls
