We no longer need to track the active intel_contexts within each engine,
allowing us to drop a tricky mutex_lock from inside unpin (which may
occur inside fs_reclaim).

We switched to a tree of per-engine HW context to accommodate the
introduction of virtual engines. However, we plan to also support
multiple instances of the same engine within the GEM context, defeating
our use of the engine as a key to looking up the HW context. Just
allocate a logical per-engine instance and always use an index into the
ctx->engines[]. Later on, this ctx->engines[] may be replaced by a user
specified map.
v2: Add for_each_gem_engine() helper to iterator within the engines lock
v3: intel_context_create_request() helper
v4: s/unsigned long/unsigned int/ 4 billion engines is quite enough.
v5: Push iterator locking to caller

Move the intel_context_instance() to the caller so that we can decouple
ourselves from one context instance per engine.
v2: Rename pin_lock() to lock_pinned(), hopefully that is clearer.

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.

We wish to start segregating the power management into different control
domains, both with respect to the hardware and the user interface. The
first step is that at the lowest level flow of requests, we want to
process a context event (and not a global GEM operation). In this patch,
we introduce the context callbacks that in future patches will be
redirected to per-engine interfaces leading to global operations as
required.
The intent is that this will be guarded by the timeline->mutex, except
that retiring has not quite finished transitioning over from being
guarded by struct_mutex. So at the moment it is protected by
struct_mutex with a reminded to switch.
v2: Rename default handlers to intel_context_enter_engine.

Start partitioning off the code that talks to the hardware (GT) from the
uapi layers and move the device facing code under gt/
One casualty is s/intel_ringbuffer.h/intel_engine.h/ with the plan to
subdivide that header and body further (and split out the submission
code from the ringbuffer and logical context handling). This patch aims
to be simple motion so git can fixup inflight patches with little mess.
