mainlining shenanigans

Remove the accumulated optimisations that we have for i915_vma_retire and reduce it to the bare essential of tracking the active object reference. This allows us to only use atomic operations, and so will be able to avoid the struct_mutex requirement. The principal loss here is the shrinker MRU bumping, so now if we have to shrink, we will do so in much more random order and more likely to try and shrink recently used objects. That is a nuisance, but shrinking active objects is a second step we try to avoid and will always be a system-wide performance issue. The other loss is here is in the automatic pruning of the reservation_object when idling. This is not as large an issue as upon reservation_object introduction as now adding new fences into the object replaces already signaled fences, keeping the array compact. But we do lose the auto-expiration of stale fences and unused arrays. That may be a noticeable problem for which we need to re-implement autopruning.

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.
