Being part of the GT HW, it make sense to keep the guc/huc structures
inside the GT structure. To help with the encapsulation work done by the
following patches, both structures are placed inside a new intel_uc
container. Although this results in code with ugly nested dereferences
(i915->gt.uc.guc...), it saves us the extra work required in moving
the structures twice (i915 -> gt -> uc). The following patches will
reduce the number of places where we try to access the guc/huc
structures directly from i915 and reduce the ugliness.

If we issue a reset to a currently idle engine, leave it idle
afterwards. This is useful to excise a linkage between reset and the
shrinker. When waking the engine, we need to pin the default context
image which we use for overwriting a guilty context -- if the engine is
idle we do not need this pinned image! However, this pinning means that
waking the engine acquires the FS_RECLAIM, and so may trigger the
shrinker. The shrinker itself may need to wait upon the GPU to unbind
and object and so may require services of reset; ergo we should avoid
the engine wake up path.
The danger in skipping the recovery for idle engines is that we leave the
engine with no context defined, which may interfere with the operation of
the power context on some older platforms. In practice, we should only
be resetting an active GPU but it something to look out for on Ironlake
(if memory serves).

To continue the onslaught of removing the assumption of a global
execution ordering, another casualty is the engine->timeline. Without an
actual timeline to track, it is overkill and we can replace it with a
much less grand plain list. We still need a list of requests inflight,
for the simple purpose of finding inflight requests (for retiring,
resetting, preemption etc).

It used to be handy that we only had a couple of headers, but over time
intel_drv.h has become unwieldy. Extract declarations to a separate
header file corresponding to the implementation module, clarifying the
modularity of the driver.
Ensure the new header is self-contained, and do so with minimal further
includes, using forward declarations as needed. Include the new header
only where needed, and sort the modified include directives while at it
and as needed.
No functional changes.

In the current scheme, on submitting a request we take a single global
GEM wakeref, which trickles down to wake up all GT power domains. This
is undesirable as we would like to be able to localise our power
management to the available power domains and to remove the global GEM
operations from the heart of the driver. (The intent there is to push
global GEM decisions to the boundary as used by the GEM user interface.)
Now during request construction, each request is responsible via its
logical context to acquire a wakeref on each power domain it intends to
utilize. Currently, each request takes a wakeref on the engine(s) and
the engines themselves take a chipset wakeref. This gives us a
transition on each engine which we can extend if we want to insert more
powermangement control (such as soft rc6). The global GEM operations
that currently require a struct_mutex are reduced to listening to pm
events from the chipset GT wakeref. As we reduce the struct_mutex
requirement, these listeners should evaporate.
Perhaps the biggest immediate change is that this removes the
struct_mutex requirement around GT power management, allowing us greater
flexibility in request construction. Another important knock-on effect,
is that by tracking engine usage, we can insert a switch back to the
kernel context on that engine immediately, avoiding any extra delay or
inserting global synchronisation barriers. This makes tracking when an
engine and its associated contexts are idle much easier -- important for
when we forgo our assumed execution ordering and need idle barriers to
unpin used contexts. In the process, it means we remove a large chunk of
code whose only purpose was to switch back to the kernel context.

Start acquiring the logical intel_context and using that as our primary
means for request allocation. This is the initial step to allow us to
avoid requiring struct_mutex for request allocation along the
perma-pinned kernel context, but it also provides a foundation for
breaking up the complex request allocation to handle different scenarios
inside execbuf.
For the purpose of emitting a request from inside retirement (see the
next patch for engine power management), we also need to lift control
over the timeline mutex to the caller.
v2: Note that the request carries the active reference upon construction.
