Besides some legacy code, vmwgfx is the only user of DRM's hash- table implementation. Copy the code into the driver, so that the core code can be retired.
No functional changes. However, the real solution for vmwgfx is to use Linux' generic hash-table functions.
The change looks good. fwiw I'd appreciate a heads up for changes like that because VMware is building up a kernel team and replacing drm_open_hash with the hasttable.h would be a great task for our new team. I mean it still is but we could have done it in sync (replace drm_open_hash with hashtable in vmwgfx and remove drm_open_hash) rather than having a transitional release.
