Move the active tracking for the frontbuffer operations out of the
i915_gem_object and into its own first class (refcounted) object. In the
process of detangling, we switch from low level request tracking to the
easier i915_active -- with the plan that this avoids any potential
atomic callbacks as the frontbuffer tracking wishes to sleep as it
flushes.

The shrinker cannot touch objects used by the contexts (logical state
and ring). Currently we mark those as "pin_global" to let the shrinker
skip over them, however, if we remove them from the shrinker lists
entirely, we don't event have to include them in our shrink accounting.
By keeping the unshrinkable objects in our shrinker tracking, we report
a large number of objects available to be shrunk, and leave the shrinker
deeply unsatisfied when we fail to reclaim those. The shrinker will
persist in trying to reclaim the unavailable objects, forcing the system
into a livelock (not even hitting the dread oomkiller).
v2: Extend unshrinkable protection for perma-pinned scratch and guc
allocations (Tvrtko)
v3: Notice that we should be pinned when marking unshrinkable and so the
link cannot be empty; merge duplicate paths.

Remove the accumulated optimisations that we have for i915_vma_retire
and reduce it to the bare essential of tracking the active object
reference. This allows us to only use atomic operations, and so will be
able to avoid the struct_mutex requirement.
The principal loss here is the shrinker MRU bumping, so now if we have
to shrink, we will do so in much more random order and more likely to
try and shrink recently used objects. That is a nuisance, but shrinking
active objects is a second step we try to avoid and will always be a
system-wide performance issue.
The other loss is here is in the automatic pruning of the
reservation_object when idling. This is not as large an issue as upon
reservation_object introduction as now adding new fences into the object
replaces already signaled fences, keeping the array compact. But we do
lose the auto-expiration of stale fences and unused arrays. That may be
a noticeable problem for which we need to re-implement autopruning.

Since commit 1ba627148e ("drm: Add reservation_object to
drm_gem_object"), struct drm_gem_object grew its own builtin
reservation_object rendering our own private one bloat. Remove our
redundant reservation_object and point into obj->base.resv instead.

An old optimisation to reduce the number of atomics per batch sadly
relies on struct_mutex for coordination. In order to remove struct_mutex
from serialising object/context closing, always taking and releasing an
active reference on first use / last use greatly simplifies the locking.

Use the per-object local lock to control the cache domain of the
individual GEM objects, not struct_mutex. This is a huge leap forward
for us in terms of object-level synchronisation; execbuffers are
coordinated using the ww_mutex and pread/pwrite is finally fully
serialised again.
