Replace the struct_mutex requirement for pinning the i915_vma with the
local vm->mutex instead. Note that the vm->mutex is tainted by the
shrinker (we require unbinding from inside fs-reclaim) and so we cannot
allocate while holding that mutex. Instead we have to preallocate
workers to do allocate and apply the PTE updates after we have we
reserved their slot in the drm_mm (using fences to order the PTE writes
with the GPU work and with later unbind).
In adding the asynchronous vma binding, one subtle requirement is to
avoid coupling the binding fence into the backing object->resv. That is
the asynchronous binding only applies to the vma timeline itself and not
to the pages as that is a more global timeline (the binding of one vma
does not need to be ordered with another vma, nor does the implicit GEM
fencing depend on a vma, only on writes to the backing store). Keeping
the vma binding distinct from the backing store timelines is verified by
a number of async gem_exec_fence and gem_exec_schedule tests. The way we
do this is quite simple, we keep the fence for the vma binding separate
and only wait on it as required, and never add it to the obj->resv
itself.
Another consequence in reducing the locking around the vma is the
destruction of the vma is no longer globally serialised by struct_mutex.
A natural solution would be to add a kref to i915_vma, but that requires
decoupling the reference cycles, possibly by introducing a new
i915_mm_pages object that is own by both obj->mm and vma->pages.
However, we have not taken that route due to the overshadowing lmem/ttm
discussions, and instead play a series of complicated games with
trylocks to (hopefully) ensure that only one destruction path is called!

Since we cannot allocate underneath the vm->mutex (it is used in the
direct-reclaim paths), we need to shift the allocations off into a
mutexless worker with fence recursion prevention. To know when we need
this protection, we mark up the address spaces that do allocate before
insertion. In the future, we may wish to extend the async bind scheme to
more than just allocations.

it is already pinned in the mappable zone or there is sufficient *free*

Previously we only accommodated having a vma pinned by a small number of
users, with the maximum being pinned for use by the display engine. As
such, we used a small bitfield only large enough to allow the vma to
be pinned twice (for back/front buffers) in each scanout plane. Keeping
the maximum permissible pin_count small allows us to quickly catch a
potential leak. However, as we want to split a 4096B page into 64

and so time has come to enlarge it.

Our goal is to remove struct_mutex and replace it with fine grained
locking. One of the thorny issues is our eviction logic for reclaiming
space for an execbuffer (or GTT mmaping, among a few other examples).
While eviction itself is easy to move under a per-VM mutex, performing
the activity tracking is less agreeable. One solution is not to do any
MRU tracking and do a simple coarse evaluation during eviction of
active/inactive, with a loose temporal ordering of last
insertion/evaluation. That keeps all the locking constrained to when we
are manipulating the VM itself, neatly avoiding the tricky handling of
possible recursive locking during execbuf and elsewhere.
Note that discarding the MRU (currently implemented as a pair of lists,
to avoid scanning the active list for a NONBLOCKING search) is unlikely
to impact upon our efficiency to reclaim VM space (where we think a LRU
model is best) as our current strategy is to use random idle replacement
first before doing a search, and over time the use of softpinned 48b
per-ppGTT is growing (thereby eliminating any need to perform any eviction
searches, in theory at least) with the remaining users being found on
much older devices (gen2-gen6).
v2: Changelog and commentary rewritten to elaborate on the duality of a
single list being both an inactive and active list.

Now that the submission backends are controlled via their own spinlocks,
with a wave of a magic wand we can lift the struct_mutex requirement
around GPU reset. That is we allow the submission frontend (userspace)
to keep on submitting while we process the GPU reset as we can suspend
the backend independently.
The major change is around the backoff/handoff strategy for performing
the reset. With no mutex deadlock, we no longer have to coordinate with
any waiter, and just perform the reset immediately.

We have two classes of VM, global GTT and per-process GTT. In order to
allow ourselves the freedom to mix both along call chains, distinguish
the two classes with regards to their mutex and lockdep maps.
