The current dsb API is not really prepared to handle multithread access.
I was debugging an issue that ended up fixed by commit a096883dda
("drm/i915/dsb: Remove PIN_MAPPABLE from the DSB object VMA") and was
puzzled how these atomic operations were guaranteeing atomicity.
if (atomic_add_return(1, &dsb->refcount) != 1)
return dsb;
Thread A could still be initializing dsb struct (and even fail in the
middle) while thread B would take a reference and use it (even
derefencing a NULL cmd_buf).
I don't think the atomic operations here will help much if this were
to support multithreaded scenario in future, so just remove them to
avoid confusion.
v2: Use refcount++ != 0 instead of ++refcount != 1 (from Ville)

This patch adds a function, which will internally get the gem buffer
for DSB engine. The GEM buffer is from global GTT, and is mapped into
CPU domain, contains the data + opcode to be feed to DSB engine.
v1: Initial version.
v2:
- removed some unwanted code. (Chris)
- Used i915_gem_object_create_internal instead of _shmem. (Chris)
- cmd_buf_tail removed and can be derived through vma object. (Chris)
v3: vma realeased if i915_gem_object_pin_map() failed. (Shashank)
v4: for simplification and based on current usage added single dsb
object in intel_crtc. (Shashank)
v5: seting NULL to cmd_buf moved outside of mutex in dsb-put(). (Shashank)
v6:
- refcount machanism added.
- Used atomic_add_return and atomic_dec_and_test instead of
atomic_inc and atomic_dec. (Jani)
