Subject: [RFC] drm: Bump encoder limit from 32 to 64

Assuming that GPUs would never have even close to 32 separate video
encoders is quite honestly a pretty reasonable assumption. Unfortunately
we do not live in a reasonable world, as it looks like it is actually
possible to find devices that will create more drm_encoder objects then
this. Case in point: the ThinkPad P71's discrete GPU, which exposes 1
eDP port and 5 DP ports. On the P71, nouveau attempts to create one
encoder for the eDP port, and two encoders for each DP++/USB-C port
along with 4 MST encoders for each DP port. This comes out to 35
different encoders. Unfortunately, this can't really be optimized to
make less encoders either.

So, what if we bumped the limit to 64? Unfortunately this has one very
awkward drawback: we already expose 32-bit bitmasks for encoders to
userspace in drm_encoder->possible_clones. Yikes. Luckily for us
however, the year is 2019 and modern hardware that supports cloning is
basically non-existent.

So, let's try to compromise here: allow encoders with indexes <32 to
have non-zero values in drm_encoder->possible_clones, and don't allow
encoders with higher indexes to set drm_encoder->possible_clones to a
non-zero value. This allows us to avoid breaking UAPI, while still being
able to bump up the encoder limit.

This also fixes driver probing for nouveau on the ThinkPad P71.
