drm/i915: Nuke struct_mutex from context_setparam
Userspace should be free to race against itself and shoot itself in the foot if it so desires to adjust a parameter at the same time as submitting a batch to that context. As such, the struct_mutex in context setparam is only being used to serialise userspace against itself and not for any protection of internal structs and so is superfluous. v2: Separate user_flags from internal flags to reduce chance of interference; and use locked bit ops for user updates.
