We don't need to hold struct_mutex now for retiring requests, so drop it
from i915_retire_requests() and i915_gem_wait_for_idle(), finally
removing I915_WAIT_LOCKED for good.

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 :(

The request->timeline is only valid until the request is retired (i.e.
before it is completed). Upon retiring the request, the context may be
unpinned and freed, and along with it the timeline may be freed. We
therefore need to be very careful when chasing rq->timeline that the
pointer does not disappear beneath us. The vast majority of users are in
a protected context, either during request construction or retirement,
where the timeline->mutex is held and the timeline cannot disappear. It
is those few off the beaten path (where we access a second timeline) that
need extra scrutiny -- to be added in the next patch after first adding
the warnings about dangerous access.
One complication, where we cannot use the timeline->mutex itself, is
during request submission onto hardware (under spinlocks). Here, we want
to check on the timeline to finalize the breadcrumb, and so we need to
impose a second rule to ensure that the request->timeline is indeed
valid. As we are submitting the request, it's context and timeline must
be pinned, as it will be used by the hardware. Since it is pinned, we
know the request->timeline must still be valid, and we cannot submit the
idle barrier until after we release the engine->active.lock, ergo while
submitting and holding that spinlock, a second thread cannot release the
timeline.
v2: Don't be lazy inside selftests; hold the timeline->mutex for as long
as we need it, and tidy up acquiring the timeline with a bit of
refactoring (i915_active_add_request)

Add a redzone to our context image and check the HW does not write into
after a context save, to verify that we have the correct context size.
(This does vary with feature bits, so test with a live setup that should
match how we run userspace.)
v2: Check the redzone on every context unpin
v3: Use a kernel context to prevent loading garbage for ringbuffer
submission

Move the timeline from being inside the intel_ring to intel_context
itself. This saves much pointer dancing and makes the relations of the
context to its timeline much clearer.

By placing our idle-barriers in the i915_active fence tree, we expose
those for reuse by other components that are issuing requests along the
kernel_context. Reusing the proto-barrier active_node is perfectly fine
as the new request implies a context-switch, and so an opportune point
to run the idle-barrier. However, the proto-barrier is not equivalent
to a normal active_node and care must be taken to avoid dereferencing the
ERR_PTR used as its request marker.
