drm/client: Make copies of modes

drm_client_firmware_config() is currently picking up the current
mode of the crtc via the legacy crtc->mode, which is not supposed
to be used by atomic drivers at all. We can't simply switch over
to the proper crtc->state->mode because we drop the crtc->mutex
(which protects crtc->state) before the mode gets used.

The most straightforward solution to extend the lifetime of
modes[] seem to be to make full copies of the modes.

And with this we can undo also commit 3eadd887db
("drm/client:Fully protect modes[] with dev->mode_config.mutex")
as the lifetime of modes[] no longer has anything to do with
that lock.

v2: Don't try to copy NULL modes
v3: Keep storing pointers and use drm_mode_{duplicate,destroy}()
