We currently do an explicit flush of the buffer pools within the call path
of drm_driver.release(); this removes all buffers, regardless of their age,
freeing the buffers' associated resources (objects, address space areas).
However there is other code that runs within the drm_driver.release() call
chain that expects objects and their associated address space areas have
already been flushed.
Since buffer pools auto-flush old buffers once per second in a worker
thread, there's a small window where if we remove the driver while there
are still objects in buffers with an age of less than one second, the
assumptions of the other release code may be violated.
By moving the flush to driver remove (which executes earlier via the
pci_driver.remove() flow) we're ensuring that all buffers are flushed and
their associated objects freed before some other code in
pci_driver.remove() flushes those objects so they are released before
_any_ code in drm_driver.release() that check completness of those
flushes executes.

We use some of the lower bits of the retire function pointer for
potential flags, which is quite thorny, since the caller needs to
remember to give the function the correct alignment with
__i915_active_call, otherwise we might incorrectly unpack the pointer
and jump to some garbage address later. Instead of all this let's just
pass the flags along as a separate parameter.

If we create a new node, it is possible for the slab allocator to return
us a recently freed node. If that node was just retired, it will retain
the current jiffy as its node->age. There is then a miniscule window,
where as that node is retired, it will appear on the free list with an
incorrect age and be eligible for reuse by one thread, and then by a
second thread as the correct node->age is written.

Since the worker may rearm, we currently are only guaranteed to flush
the work if we cancel the timer. If the work was running at the time we
try and cancel it, we will wait for it to complete, but it may leave
items in the pool and requeue the work. If we rearrange the immediate
discard of the pool then cancel the work, we know that the work cannot
rearm and so our flush will be final.

Since the introduction of 'soft-rc6', we aim to park the device quickly
and that results in frequent idling of the whole device. Currently upon
idling we free the batch buffer pool, and so this renders the cache
ineffective for many workloads. If we want to have an effective cache of
recently allocated buffers available for reuse, we need to decouple that
cache from the engine powermanagement and make it timer based. As there
is no reason then to keep it within the engine (where it once made
retirement order easier to track), we can move it up the hierarchy to the
owner of the memory allocations.
v2: Hook up to debugfs/drop_caches to clear the cache on demand.
