drm/i915/gtt: Replace struct_mutex serialisation for allocation
Instead of relying on the caller holding struct_mutex across the allocation, push the allocation under a tree of spinlocks stored inside the page tables. Not only should this allow us to avoid struct_mutex here, but it will allow multiple users to lock independent ranges for concurrent allocations, and operate independently. This is vital for pushing the GTT manipulation into a background thread where dependency on struct_mutex is verboten, and for allowing other callers to avoid struct_mutex altogether. v2: Restore lost GEM_BUG_ON for removing too many PTE from gen6_ppgtt_clear_range.
