[PATCH v3 17/20] drm/drv: Switch skeleton to drm_mode_config_create_initial_state()

The driver skeleton currently recommends calling
drm_mode_config_reset() at probe time to create the initial state.

Now that drm_mode_config_create_initial_state() exists to handle
initial state allocation without hardware side effects, update the
skeleton to recommend it instead.
