drm: Merge helper docbook into kerneldoc comments

Duplication is bad, luckily both help texts highlighted different
issues so the kerneldoc gained quite a bit!

While at it also sprinkle more references to the vtable structs around
and make it clear that legacy CRTC helpers are deprecated and which
functions to use instead.

v2: Spelling fixes and polish (Thierry).

-            is a connector <methodname>dpms</methodname> implementation that
