This adds GuC backend support for i915_request_cancel(), which in turn
makes CONFIG_DRM_I915_REQUEST_TIMEOUT work.
This implementation makes use of fence while there are likely simplier
options. A fence was chosen because of another feature coming soon
which requires a user to block on a context until scheduling is
disabled. In that case we return the fence to the user and the user can
wait on that fence.
