[PATCH 12/19] drm/i915: Remove (struct_mutex) locking for wait-ioctl

[Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>]

With a bit of care (and leniency) we can iterate over the object and
wait for previous rendering to complete with judicial use of atomic
reference counting. The ABI requires us to ensure that an active object
is eventually flushed (like the busy-ioctl) which is guaranteed by our
management of requests (i.e. everything that is submitted to hardware is
flushed in the same request). All we have to do is ensure that we can
detect when the requests are complete for reporting when the object is
idle (without triggering ETIME), locklessly - this is handled by
i915_gem_active_wait_unlocked().

The impact of this is actually quite small - the return to userspace
following the wait was already lockless and so we don't see much gain in
latency improvement upon completing the wait. What we do achieve here is
completing an already finished wait without hitting the struct_mutex,
our hold is quite short and so we are typically just a victim of
contention rather than a cause - but it is still one less contention
point!

v2: Break up a long line.
