Very similar to commit 4f88f8747f ("drm/i915/gt: Schedule request
retirement when timeline idles"), but this time instead of coupling into
the execlists CS event interrupt, we couple into the breadcrumb
interrupt and queue a timeline's retirement when the last signaler is
completed. This should allow us to more rapidly park ringbuffer
submission, and so help reduce power consumption on older systems.

The major drawback of commit 7e34f4e4aa ("drm/i915/gen8+: Add RC6 CTX
corruption WA") is that it disables RC6 while Skylake (and friends) is
active, and we do not consider the GPU idle until all outstanding
requests have been retired and the engine switched over to the kernel
context. If userspace is idle, this task falls onto our background idle
worker, which only runs roughly once a second, meaning that userspace has
to have been idle for a couple of seconds before we enable RC6 again.
Naturally, this causes us to consume considerably more energy than
before as powersaving is effectively disabled while a display server
(here's looking at you Xorg) is running.
As execlists will get a completion event as each context is completed,
we can use this interrupt to queue a retire worker bound to this engine
to cleanup idle timelines. We will then immediately notice the idle
engine (without userspace intervention or the aid of the background
retire worker) and start parking the GPU. Thus during light workloads,
we will do much more work to idle the GPU faster... Hopefully with
commensurate power saving!
v2: Watch context completions and only look at those local to the engine
when retiring to reduce the amount of excess work we perform.

From inside an active timeline in the execbuf ioctl, we may try to
reclaim some space in the GGTT. We need GGTT space for all objects on
!full-ppgtt platforms, and for context images everywhere. However, to
free up space in the GGTT we may need to remove some pinned objects
(e.g. context images) that require flushing the idle barriers to remove.
For this we use the big hammer of intel_gt_wait_for_idle()
However, commit 7936a22dd4 ("drm/i915/gt: Wait for new requests in
intel_gt_retire_requests()") will continue spinning on the wait if a
timeline is active but lacks requests, as is the case during execbuf
reservation. Spinning forever is quite time consuming, so revert that
commit and start again.
In practice, the effect commit 7936a22dd4 was trying to achieve is
accomplished by commit 1683d24c14 ("drm/i915/gt: Move new timelines
to the end of active_list"), so there is no immediate rush to replace
the looping.

The general concept was that intel_timeline.active_count was locked by
the intel_timeline.mutex. The exception was for power management, where
the engine->kernel_context->timeline could be manipulated under the
global wakeref.mutex.
This was quite solid, as we always manipulated the timeline only while
we held an engine wakeref.
And then we started retiring requests outside of struct_mutex, only
using the timelines.active_list and the timeline->mutex. There we
started manipulating intel_timeline.active_count outside of an engine
wakeref, and so introduced a race between __engine_park() and
intel_gt_retire_requests(), a race that could result in the
engine->kernel_context not being added to the active timelines and so
losing requests, which caused us to keep the system permanently powered
up [and unloadable].
The race would be easy to close if we could take the engine wakeref for
the timeline before we retire -- except timelines are not bound to any
engine and so we would need to keep all active engines awake. The
alternative is to guard intel_timeline_enter/intel_timeline_exit for use
outside of the timeline->mutex.

As we may park the gt during request retirement, we may cancel the
retirement worker only to then program the delayed worker once more.
If we schedule the next delayed retirement worker first, if we then park
the gt, the work will remain cancelled.

Our callers fall into two categories, those passing timeout=0 who just
want to flush request retirements and those passing a timeout that need
to wait for submission completion (e.g. intel_gt_wait_for_idle()).
Currently, we only wait for a snapshot of timelines at the start of the
wait (but there was an expectation that new requests would cause timelines
to appear at the end). However, our callers, such as
intel_gt_wait_for_idle() before suspend, do require us to wait for the
power management requests emitted by retirement as well. If we don't,
then it takes an extra second or two for the background worker to flush
the queue and mark the GT as idle.

Where the function, or code segment, operates on intel_gt, we need to
start passing it instead of i915 to for_each_engine(_masked).
This is another partial step in migration of i915->engines[] to

If we cannot claim the timeline->mutex while preparing for a wait on it,
we have to skip the timeline. In doing so, treat it as active so that
under a intel_gt_wait_for_idle() loop, we repeat the wait after
scheduling away.
