In _i915_add_request(), the request is associated with a userland client.
Specifically it is linked to the 'file' structure and the current user process
is recorded. One problem here is that the current user process is not
necessarily the same as when the request was submitted to the driver. This is
especially true when the GPU scheduler arrives and decouples driver submission
from hardware submission. Note also that it is only in the case where the add
request comes from an execbuff call that there is a client to associate. Any
other add request call is kernel only so does not need to do it.
This patch moves the client association into a separate function. This is then
called from the execbuffer code path itself at a sensible time. It also removes
the now redundant 'file' pointer from the add request parameter list.
An extra cleanup of the client association is also added to the request clean up
code for the eventuality where the request is killed after association but
before being submitted (e.g. due to out of memory error somewhere). Once the
submission has happened, the request is on the request list and the regular
request list removal will clear the association. Note that this still needs to
happen at this point in time because the request might be kept floating around
much longer (due to someone holding a reference count) and the client should not
be worrying about this request after it has been retired.
