drm: document drm_mode_get_property 

It's not obvious what the fields mean and how they should be used.
The most important detail is the link to drm_property.flags, which
describes how property types work.

v2: document enum drm_mode_property_enum, add ref to "Modeset Base
Object Abstraction" (Daniel)

/**
* struct drm_mode_get_property - Get property metadata.
*
* User-space can perform a GETPROPERTY ioctl to retrieve information about a
* property. The same property may be attached to multiple objects, see
* "Modeset Base Object Abstraction".
*
* The meaning of the @values_ptr field changes depending on the property type.
* See &drm_property.flags for more details.
*
* The @enum_blob_ptr and @count_enum_blobs fields are only meaningful when the
* property has the type &DRM_MODE_PROP_ENUM or &DRM_MODE_PROP_BITMASK. For
* backwards compatibility, the kernel will always set @count_enum_blobs to
* zero when the property has the type &DRM_MODE_PROP_BLOB. User-space must
* ignore these two fields if the property has a different type.
*
* User-space is expected to retrieve values and enums by performing this ioctl
* at least twice: the first time to retrieve the number of elements, the
* second time to retrieve the elements themselves.
*
* To retrieve the number of elements, set @count_values and @count_enum_blobs
* to zero, then call the ioctl. @count_values will be updated with the number
* of elements. If the property has the type &DRM_MODE_PROP_ENUM or
* &DRM_MODE_PROP_BITMASK, @count_enum_blobs will be updated as well.
*
* To retrieve the elements themselves, allocate an array for @values_ptr and
* set @count_values to its capacity. If the property has the type
* &DRM_MODE_PROP_ENUM or &DRM_MODE_PROP_BITMASK, allocate an array for
* @enum_blob_ptr and set @count_enum_blobs to its capacity. Calling the ioctl
* again will fill the arrays.
