drm/i915: introduce simple gemfs
Not a fully blown gemfs, just our very own tmpfs kernel mount. Doing so moves us away from the shmemfs shm_mnt, and gives us the much needed flexibility to do things like set our own mount options, namely huge= which should allow us to enable the use of transparent-huge-pages for our shmem backed objects. v2: various improvements suggested by Joonas v3: move gemfs instance to i915.mm and simplify now that we have file_setup_with_mnt v4: fallback to tmpfs shm_mnt upon failure to setup gemfs v5: make tmpfs fallback kinder v5: better gemfs failure message flags variable Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: Kirill A.
