04b8867758 drm/nouveau/core/client: allow creation of subclients
We want a supervisor client of NVKM (such as the DRM) to be able to
allow sharing of resources (such as memory objects) between clients.

To allow this, the supervisor creates all its clients as children of
itself, and will use an upcoming ioctl to permit sharing.

Currently it's not possible for indirect clients to use subclients.
Supporting this will require an additional field in the main ioctl.
This isn't important currently, but will need to be fixed for virt.

c39f472e9f drm/nouveau: remove symlinks, move core/ to nvkm/ (no code changes)
The symlinks were annoying some people, and they're not used anywhere
else in the kernel tree.  The include directory structure has been
changed so that symlinks aren't needed anymore.

NVKM has been moved from core/ to nvkm/ to make it more obvious as to
what the directory is for, and as some minor prep for when NVKM gets
split out into its own module (virt) at a later date.
