drm/i915/bdw: Pin the context backing objects to GGTT on-demand
Up until now, we have pinned every logical ring context backing object during creation, and left it pinned until destruction. This made my life easier, but it's a harmful thing to do, because we cause fragmentation of the GGTT (and, eventually, we would run out of space). This patch makes the pinning on-demand: the backing objects of the two contexts that are written to the ELSP are pinned right before submission and unpinned once the hardware is done with them. The only context that is still pinned regardless is the global default one, so that the HWS can still be accessed in the same way (ring->status_page). v2: In the early version of this patch, we were pinning the context as we put it into the ELSP: on the one hand, this is very efficient because only a maximum two contexts are pinned at any given time, but on the other hand, we cannot really pin in interrupt time :( v3: Use a mutex rather than atomic_t to protect pin count to avoid races. Do not unpin default context in free_request. v4: Break out pin and unpin into functions. Fix style problems reported by checkpatch v5: Remove unpin_lock as all pinning and unpinning is done with the struct mutex already locked. Add WARN_ONs to make sure this is the case in future.
