Allow multiple batch buffers to be submitted in a single execbuf IOCTL after a context has been configured with the 'set_parallel' extension. The number batches is implicit based on the contexts configuration. This is implemented with a series of loops. First a loop is used to find all the batches, a loop to pin all the HW contexts, a loop to create all the requests, a loop to submit (emit BB start, etc...) all the requests, a loop to tie the requests to the VMAs they touch, and finally a loop to commit the requests to the backend. A composite fence is also created for the generated requests to return to the user and to stick in dma resv slots. No behavior from the existing IOCTL should be changed aside from when throttling because the ring for a context is full. In this situation, i915 will now wait while holding the object locks. This change was done because the code is much simpler to wait while holding the locks and we believe there isn't a huge benefit of dropping these locks. If this proves false we can restructure the code to drop the locks during the wait.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
