Previously, our view has been always to run the engines independently
within a context. (Multiple engines happened before we had contexts and
timelines, so they always operated independently and that behaviour
persisted into contexts.) However, at the user level the context often
represents a single timeline (e.g. GL contexts) and userspace must
ensure that the individual engines are serialised to present that
ordering to the client (or forgot about this detail entirely and hope no
one notices - a fair ploy if the client can only directly control one
engine themselves ;)
In the next patch, we will want to construct a set of engines that
operate as one, that have a single timeline interwoven between them, to
present a single virtual engine to the user. (They submit to the virtual
engine, then we decide which engine to execute on based.)
To that end, we want to be able to create contexts which have a single
timeline (fence context) shared between all engines, rather than multiple
timelines.
v2: Move the specialised timeline ordering to its own function.

Having introduced per-context seqno, we now have a means to identity
progress across the system without feel of rollback as befell the
global_seqno. That is we can program a MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT operation in
advance of submission safe in the knowledge that our target seqno and
address is stable.
However, since we are telling the GPU to busy-spin on the target address
until it matches the signaling seqno, we only want to do so when we are
sure that busy-spin will be completed quickly. To achieve this we only
submit the request to HW once the signaler is itself executing (modulo
preemption causing us to wait longer), and we only do so for default and
above priority requests (so that idle priority tasks never themselves
hog the GPU waiting for others).
As might be reasonably expected, HW semaphores excel in inter-engine
synchronisation microbenchmarks (where the 3x reduced latency / increased
throughput more than offset the power cost of spinning on a second ring)
and have significant improvement (can be up to ~10%, most see no change)
for single clients that utilize multiple engines (typically media players
and transcoders), without regressing multiple clients that can saturate
the system or changing the power envelope dramatically.
v3: Drop the older NEQ branch, now we pin the signaler's HWSP anyway.
v4: Tell the world and include it as part of scheduler caps.

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

My original intention was for i915_sw_fence to be the base class and
provide the reference count for the container. This was from starting
with a design to handle async_work. In practice, for i915 we embed
fences into structs which have their own independent reference counting,
making the i915_sw_fence.kref duplicitous. If we remove the kref, we
remove the i915_sw_fence's ability to free itself and its independence,
it can only exist within a container and must be supplied with a
callback to handle its release.

Add the tracking required to enable debugobjects for fences to improve
error detection in BAT. The debugobject interface lets us track the
lifetime and phases of the fences even while being embedded into larger
structs, i.e. to check they are not used after they have been released.
v2: Don't populate the stubs, debugobjects checks for a NULL pointer and
treats it equivalently.

Currently, we have an active reference for the request until it is
retired. Though it cannot be retired before it has been executed by
hardware, the request may be completed before we have finished
processing the execute fence, i.e. we may continue to process that fence
as we free the request.

Localise the static struct lock_class_key to the caller of
i915_sw_fence_init() so that we create a lock_class instance for each
unique sw_fence rather than all sw_fences sharing the same
lock_class. This eliminate some lockdep false positive when using fences
from within fence callbacks.
For the relatively small number of fences currently in use [2], this adds
160 bytes of unused text/code when lockdep is disabled. This seems
quite high, but fully reducing it via ifdeffery is also quite ugly.
Removing the #fence strings saves 72 bytes with just a single #ifdef.

In forthcoming patches, we want to be able to dynamically allocate the
wait_queue_t used whilst awaiting. This is more convenient if we extend
the i915_sw_fence_await_sw_fence() to perform the allocation for us if
we pass in a gfp mask as an alternative than a preallocated struct.

This is really a core kernel struct in disguise until we can finally
place it in kernel/. There is an immediate need for a fence collection
mechanism that is more flexible than fence-array, in particular being
able to easily drive request submission via events (and not just
interrupt driven). The same mechanism would be useful for handling
nonblocking and asynchronous atomic modesets, parallel execution and
more, but for the time being just create a local sw fence for execbuf.
