drm: Consolidate and document sysfs support

- remove docs for internal func, doesn't add value
- add short overview snippet instead explaining that drivers don't
  have to bother themselves with reg/unreg concerns
- drop the ttm comment about drmP.h, drmP.h is disappearing ...

+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * DRM provides very little additional support to drivers for sysfs
+ * interactions, beyond just all the standard stuff. Drivers who want to expose
+ * additional sysfs properties and property groups can attach them at either
+ * &drm_device.dev or &drm_connector.kdev.
+ *
+ * Registration is automatically handled when calling drm_dev_register(), or
+ * drm_connector_register() in case of hot-plugged connectors. Unregistration is
+ * also automatically handled by drm_dev_unregister() and
+ * drm_connector_unregister().
