Previously, we wanted to shrink the pages of freed objects before they
were finally RCU collected. However, by removing the struct_mutex
serialisation around the active reference, we need to acquire an extra
reference around the wait. Unfortunately this means that we have to skip
objects that are waiting RCU collection.

We need to keep the context image pinned in memory until after the GPU
has finished writing into it. Since it continues to write as we signal
the final breadcrumb, we need to keep it pinned until the request after
it is complete. Currently we know the order in which requests execute on
each engine, and so to remove that presumption we need to identify a
request/context-switch we know must occur after our completion. Any
request queued after the signal must imply a context switch, for
simplicity we use a fresh request from the kernel context.
The sequence of operations for keeping the context pinned until saved is:
- On context activation, we preallocate a node for each physical engine
the context may operate on. This is to avoid allocations during
unpinning, which may be from inside FS_RECLAIM context (aka the
shrinker)
- On context deactivation on retirement of the last active request (which
is before we know the context has been saved), we add the
preallocated node onto a barrier list on each engine
- On engine idling, we emit a switch to kernel context. When this
switch completes, we know that all previous contexts must have been
saved, and so on retiring this request we can finally unpin all the
contexts that were marked as deactivated prior to the switch.
We can enhance this in future by flushing all the idle contexts on a
regular heartbeat pulse of a switch to kernel context, which will also
be used to check for hung engines.

With async binding, we don't want to manage a bound/unbound list as we
may end up running before we even acquire the pages. All that is
required is keeping track of shrinkable objects, so reduce it to the
minimum list.

Currently, we try to report to the shrinker the precise number of
objects (pages) that are available to be reaped at this moment. This
requires searching all objects with allocated pages to see if they
fulfill the search criteria, and this count is performed quite
frequently. (The shrinker tries to free ~128 pages on each invocation,
before which we count all the objects; counting takes longer than
unbinding the objects!) If we take the pragmatic view that with
sufficient desire, all objects are eventually reapable (they become
inactive, or no longer used as framebuffer etc), we can simply return
the count of pinned pages maintained during get_pages/put_pages rather
than walk the lists every time.
The downside is that we may (slightly) over-report the number of
objects/pages we could shrink and so penalize ourselves by shrinking
more than required. This is mitigated by keeping the order in which we
shrink objects such that we avoid penalizing active and frequently used
objects, and if memory is so tight that we need to free them we would
need to anyway.
v2: Only expose shrinkable objects to the shrinker; a small reduction in
not considering stolen and foreign objects.
v3: Restore the tracking from a "backup" copy from before the gem/ split

Currently the purgeable objects, I915_MADV_DONTNEED, are mixed in the
normal bound/unbound lists. Every shrinker pass starts with an attempt
to purge from this set of unneeded objects, which entails us doing a
walk over both lists looking for any candidates. If there are none, and
since we are shrinking we can reasonably assume that the lists are
full!, this becomes a very slow futile walk.
If we separate out the purgeable objects into own list, this search then
becomes its own phase that is preferentially handled during shrinking.
Instead the cost becomes that we then need to filter the purgeable list
if we want to distinguish between bound and unbound objects.
