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.

The function intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq() is always invoked from an interrupt
handler and for that reason it invokes (as an optimisation) only spin_lock()
for locking assuming that the interrupts are already disabled. The
function intel_engine_signal_breadcrumbs() is provided to disable
interrupts while the former function is invoked so that assumption is
also true for callers from preemptible context.
On PREEMPT_RT local_irq_disable() really disables interrupts and this
forbids to invoke spin_lock() which becomes a sleeping spinlock.
This is also problematic with `threadirqs' in conjunction with
irq_work. With force threading the interrupt handler, the handler is
invoked with disabled BH but with interrupts enabled. This is okay and
the lock itself is never acquired in IRQ context. This changes with
irq_work (signal_irq_work()) which _still_ invokes
intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq() from IRQ context. Lockdep should see this
and complain.
Acquire the locks in intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq() with _irqsave()
suffix and let all callers invoke intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq()
directly instead using intel_engine_signal_breadcrumbs().

Due to the nature of preempt-to-busy the execlists active tracking and
the schedule queue may become temporarily desync'ed (between resubmission
to HW and its ack from HW). This means that we may have unwound a
request and passed it back to the virtual engine, but it is still
inflight on the HW and may even result in a GPU hang. If we detect that
GPU hang and try to reset, the hanging request->engine will no longer
match the current engine, which means that the request is not on the
execlists active list and we should not try to find an older incomplete
request. Given that we have deduced this must be a request on a virtual
engine, it is the single active request in the context and so must be
guilty (as the context is still inflight, it is prevented from being
executed on another engine as we process the reset).

If we issue a reset to a currently idle engine, leave it idle
afterwards. This is useful to excise a linkage between reset and the
shrinker. When waking the engine, we need to pin the default context
image which we use for overwriting a guilty context -- if the engine is
idle we do not need this pinned image! However, this pinning means that
waking the engine acquires the FS_RECLAIM, and so may trigger the
shrinker. The shrinker itself may need to wait upon the GPU to unbind
and object and so may require services of reset; ergo we should avoid
the engine wake up path.
The danger in skipping the recovery for idle engines is that we leave the
engine with no context defined, which may interfere with the operation of
the power context on some older platforms. In practice, we should only
be resetting an active GPU but it something to look out for on Ironlake
(if memory serves).

In the current scheme, on submitting a request we take a single global
GEM wakeref, which trickles down to wake up all GT power domains. This
is undesirable as we would like to be able to localise our power
management to the available power domains and to remove the global GEM
operations from the heart of the driver. (The intent there is to push
global GEM decisions to the boundary as used by the GEM user interface.)
Now during request construction, each request is responsible via its
logical context to acquire a wakeref on each power domain it intends to
utilize. Currently, each request takes a wakeref on the engine(s) and
the engines themselves take a chipset wakeref. This gives us a
transition on each engine which we can extend if we want to insert more
powermangement control (such as soft rc6). The global GEM operations
that currently require a struct_mutex are reduced to listening to pm
events from the chipset GT wakeref. As we reduce the struct_mutex
requirement, these listeners should evaporate.
Perhaps the biggest immediate change is that this removes the
struct_mutex requirement around GT power management, allowing us greater
flexibility in request construction. Another important knock-on effect,
is that by tracking engine usage, we can insert a switch back to the
kernel context on that engine immediately, avoiding any extra delay or
inserting global synchronisation barriers. This makes tracking when an
engine and its associated contexts are idle much easier -- important for
when we forgo our assumed execution ordering and need idle barriers to
unpin used contexts. In the process, it means we remove a large chunk of
code whose only purpose was to switch back to the kernel context.

Start acquiring the logical intel_context and using that as our primary
means for request allocation. This is the initial step to allow us to
avoid requiring struct_mutex for request allocation along the
perma-pinned kernel context, but it also provides a foundation for
breaking up the complex request allocation to handle different scenarios
inside execbuf.
For the purpose of emitting a request from inside retirement (see the
next patch for engine power management), we also need to lift control
over the timeline mutex to the caller.
v2: Note that the request carries the active reference upon construction.

Start partitioning off the code that talks to the hardware (GT) from the
uapi layers and move the device facing code under gt/
One casualty is s/intel_ringbuffer.h/intel_engine.h/ with the plan to
subdivide that header and body further (and split out the submission
code from the ringbuffer and logical context handling). This patch aims
to be simple motion so git can fixup inflight patches with little mess.
