drm: Use a little stash on the stack to avoid kmalloc in most DRM ioctls.
The kmalloc was taking up about 1.5% of the CPU on an ioctl-heavy workload
(x11perf -aa10text on 965). Initial results look like they have a
corresponding improvement in performance for aa10text, but more numbers might
not hurt.
Thanks to ajax for pointing out this performance regression I'd introduced
back in 2007.
[airlied: well I introduced it sneakily inside Eric's patch]
