Since unifying ringbuffer/execlist submission to use
engine->pin_context, we ensure that the intel_ring is available before
we start constructing the request. We can therefore move the assignment
of the request->ring to the central i915_gem_request_alloc() and not
require it in every engine->request_alloc() callback. Another small step
towards simplification (of the core, but at a cost of handling error
pointers in less important callers of engine->pin_context).
v2: Rearrange a few branches to reduce impact of PTR_ERR() on gcc's code
generation.

When test GVTg as below scenario:
VM boot --> failsafe --> kill qemu --> VM boot.
Qemu report error at the second boot:
ERROR: PCI region size must be pow2 type=0x0, size=0x1fa1000
Qemu need access PCI_ROM_ADDRESS reg to determine the size of expansion
PCI rom. The mechanism just like the BAR reg (write-read) and we should
return the size 0 since we have no rom. If we reject the write to
PCI_ROM_ADDRESS, Qemu cannot get the correct size of rom.
Essentially, GVTg failsafe mode should not break PCI function. So we
exclude cfg space from failsafe mode. This can fix above issue.
v2: add Fixes and Bugzilla link.

This patch introduces two functions for activating/de-activating vGPU in
mdev ops.
A racing condition was found between virtual vblank emulation and KVGMT
mdev release path. V-blank emulation will emulate and inject V-blank
interrupt for every active vGPU with holding gvt->lock, while in mdev
release path, it will directly release hypervisor handle without changing
vGPU status or taking gvt->lock, so a kernel oops is encountered when
vblank emulation is injecting a interrupt with a invalid hypervisor
handle. (Reported by Terrence)
To solve this problem, we factor out vGPU activation/de-activation from
vGPU creation/destruction path and let KVMGT mdev release ops de-activate
the vGPU before release hypervisor handle. Once a vGPU is de-activated,
GVT-g will not emulate v-blank for it or touch the hypervisor handle.

This method tries to guarantee precision in second level, with the
adjustment conducted in every 100ms. At the end of each vGPU switch
calculate the sched time and subtract it from the time slice
allocated; the allocated time slice for every 100ms together with
remaining timeslice, will be used to decide how much timeslice
allocated to this vGPU in the next 100ms slice, with the end goal
to guarantee weight ratio in second level.

The weight defines proportional control of physical GPU resource
shared between vGPUs. So far the weight is tied to a specific vGPU
type, i.e when creating multiple vGPUs with different types, they
will inherit different weights.
e.g. The weight of type GVTg_V5_2 is 8, the weight of type GVTg_V5_4
is 4, so vGPU of type GVTg_V5_2 has double vGPU resource of vGPU type
GVTg_V5_4.
