I just realized that I've forgotten to update all the gem refcounting
docs. For pennance also add pretty docs for the overall drm_gem_object
structure, with a few links thrown in fore good.

As usually we need to make sure the kerneldoc reference is at most a
sect2 for otherwise it won't be listed.
