Subject: [PATCH v2 02/14] include/drm/drm_gem.h: add poll_table_struct forward declaration

After eliminating includes of linux/mm.h, the following build failure
occurred:

 ./include/drm/drm_file.h:443:45: warning: ‘struct poll_table_struct’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
   443 | __poll_t drm_poll(struct file *filp, struct poll_table_struct *wait);
       |                                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 In file included from drivers/gpu/drm/imagination/pvr_gem.h:12,
                  from drivers/gpu/drm/imagination/pvr_fw.h:9:
 ./include/drm/drm_gem.h:447:27: error: initialization of ‘__poll_t (*)(struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *)’ {aka ‘unsigned int (*)(struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *)’} from incompatible pointer type ‘__poll_t (*)(struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *)’ {aka ‘unsigned int (*)(struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *)’} [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
   447 |         .poll           = drm_poll,\
       |                           ^~~~~~~~

The compiler is confused, and that can be fixed easily by
forward-declaring the struct expicitly.
