Instead of relying on the caller holding struct_mutex across the allocation, push the allocation under a tree of spinlocks stored inside the page tables. Not only should this allow us to avoid struct_mutex here, but it will allow multiple users to lock independent ranges for concurrent allocations, and operate independently. This is vital for pushing the GTT manipulation into a background thread where dependency on struct_mutex is verboten, and for allowing other callers to avoid struct_mutex altogether. v2: Restore lost GEM_BUG_ON for removing too many PTE from gen6_ppgtt_clear_range.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
