linux-dmabuf: no buffer errors on device disappearance

Pekka Paalanen requested to merge pq/wayland-protocols:mr/hotunplug into master

This was prompted by the discussion from https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2020-May/266611.html which is not the final wording.

When a DRM device is hot-unplugged, particularly if it is the Wayland compositor's compositing GPU, EGL may start returning errors from trying to use the client's dmabuf. Or, if the client is rendering on another GPU which gets hot-unplugged, the dmabuf the compositor already has may start failing.

Hot-unplug is an abrupt global action, and there is no way a client or a compositor could ensure they clean up before things start failing. It is not the client's fault, so the client should not get disconnected if already existing wl_buffer objects start failing. This patch add the wording to the protocol to this effect.

The intention is that the compositor replaces the failed buffers with some placeholder content. There is no way this could be glitch-free. In its own pace the client should discover the DRM device is gone, clean up, and perhaps use something else. How exactly that should happen depends on the rendering API the client is using.

This is a tiny step towards making DRM device hot-unplug not crash applications that wish to handle the unplug gracefully.
