drm/nouveau/disp: route GSP-RM display MMIO through nvkm_disp_func hooks

This patch refactors the GSP-RM display MMIO routing by introducing a
gsp table in nvkm_disp_func. This allows r535_disp_new() to call hooks
specific to each chip generation rather than relying on hardcoded
functions. The changes remove chip-specific register code from
rm/r535/disp.c without altering functionality.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed a potential NULL pointer
dereference and use-after-free here on initialization failure.

If nvkm_disp_new_() fails early due to an allocation failure, it can leave
*pdisp set to NULL. Does this cause mutex_init(&(*pdisp)->super.mutex) to
unconditionally dereference NULL?

Additionally, if nvkm_disp_new_() fails after linking the subdev to the
device, freeing rm with kfree(rm) could leave a dangling disp->func pointer.
During teardown, could the system invoke the destructor via this freed
pointer, resulting in a use-after-free?
