Subject: drm: Update docs for legacy kms state
Git-commit: 2e2b96ef7a9b71e1bf08439e363c18cf700bafec
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
References: FATE#326289 FATE#326079 FATE#326049 FATE#322398 FATE#326166

Point at the equivalent atomic state and explain that atomic drivers
shouldn't really depend upon legacy state.

Motivated by questions from Manasi about how this all is supposed to
work.
