The expected downside to commit 58b4c1a07a ("drm/i915: Reduce nested
prepare_remote_context() to a trylock") was that it would need to return
-EAGAIN to userspace in order to resolve potential mutex inversion. Such
an unsightly round trip is unnecessary if we could atomically insert a
barrier into the i915_active_fence, so make it happen.
Currently, we use the timeline->mutex (or some other named outer lock)
to order insertion into the i915_active_fence (and so individual nodes
of i915_active). Inside __i915_active_fence_set, we only need then
serialise with the interrupt handler in order to claim the timeline for
ourselves.
However, if we remove the outer lock, we need to ensure the order is
intact between not only multiple threads trying to insert themselves
into the timeline, but also with the interrupt handler completing the
previous occupant. We use xchg() on insert so that we have an ordered
sequence of insertions (and each caller knows the previous fence on
which to wait, preserving the chain of all fences in the timeline), but
we then have to cmpxchg() in the interrupt handler to avoid overwriting
the new occupant. The only nasty side-effect is having to temporarily
strip off the RCU-annotations to apply the atomic operations, otherwise
the rules are much more conventional!

The headers in the gem/selftests/, gt/selftests, gvt/, selftests/

to make them self-contained.
This commit only addresses missing <linux/types.h> and forward

Forgo the struct_mutex serialisation for i915_active, and interpose its
own mutex handling for active/retire.
This is a multi-layered sleight-of-hand. First, we had to ensure that no
active/retire callbacks accidentally inverted the mutex ordering rules,
nor assumed that they were themselves serialised by struct_mutex. More
challenging though, is the rule over updating elements of the active
rbtree. Instead of the whole i915_active now being serialised by
struct_mutex, allocations/rotations of the tree are serialised by the
i915_active.mutex and individual nodes are serialised by the caller
using the i915_timeline.mutex (we need to use nested spinlocks to
interact with the dma_fence callback lists).
The pain point here is that instead of a single mutex around execbuf, we
now have to take a mutex for active tracker (one for each vma, context,
etc) and a couple of spinlocks for each fence update. The improvement in
fine grained locking allowing for multiple concurrent clients
(eventually!) should be worth it in typical loads.
v2: Add some comments that barely elucidate anything :(

As every i915_active_request should be serialised by a dedicated lock,
i915_active consists of a tree of locks; one for each node. Markup up
the i915_active_request with what lock is supposed to be guarding it so
that we can verify that the serialised updated are indeed serialised.
