[PATCH] drm: Create support for Write-Only property blob

[Mark Yacoub <markyacoub@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[Why]
User space might need to inject data into the kernel without allowing it
to be read again by any user space.
An example of where this is particularly useful is secret keys fetched
by user space and injected into the kernel to enable content protection.

[How]
Create a DRM_MODE_CREATE_BLOB_WRITE_ONLY flag used by user space to
create a blob and mark the blob as write only.
On reading back the blob, data will be not be copied if it's a write
only blob
