drm/ci: enable lockdep detection

We have enabled PROVE_LOCKING (which enables LOCKDEP) in drm-ci.
This will output warnings when kernel locking errors are encountered
and will continue executing tests. To detect if lockdep has been
triggered, check the debug_locks value in /proc/lockdep_stats after
the tests have run. When debug_locks is 0, it indicates that lockdep
has detected issues and turned itself off. Check this value, and if
lockdep is detected, exit with an error and configure it as a warning
in GitLab CI.

GitLab CI ignores exit codes other than 1 by default. Pass the correct
exit code with variable FF_USE_NEW_BASH_EVAL_STRATEGY set to true or
exit on failure.

Also update the documentation.

5. The various jobs will be run and when the pipeline is finished, all jobs
should be green unless a regression has been found.
6. Warnings in the pipeline indicate that lockdep
(see Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst) issues have been detected
during the tests.
