Commit 1bec9b0bda3d ("drm/i915/shrinker: Only shmemfs objects
are backed by swap") stopped considering the userptr objects
in shrinker callbacks.
Restore that so idle userptr objects can be discarded in order
to free up memory.
One change further to what was introduced in 1bec9b0bda3d is
to start considering userptr objects in oom but that should
also be a correct thing to do.
v2: Introduce I915_GEM_OBJECT_IS_SHRINKABLE. (Chris Wilson)

The plan is to move obj->pages out from under the struct_mutex into its
own per-object lock. We need to prune any assumption of the struct_mutex
from the get_pages/put_pages backends, and to make it easier we pass
around the sg_table to operate on rather than indirectly via the obj.

The plan is to make obtaining the backing storage for the object avoid
struct_mutex (i.e. use its own locking). The first step is to update the
API so that normal users only call pin/unpin whilst working on the
backing storage.

Quite a few of our objects used for internal hardware programming do not
benefit from being swappable or from being zero initialised. As such
they do not benefit from using a shmemfs backing storage and since they
are internal and never directly exposed to the user, we do not need to
worry about providing a filp. For these we can use an
drm_i915_gem_object wrapper around a sg_table of plain struct page. They
are not swap backed and not automatically pinned. If they are reaped
by the shrinker, the pages are released and the contents discarded. For
the internal use case, this is fine as for example, ringbuffers are
pinned from being written by a request to be read by the hardware. Once
they are idle, they can be discarded entirely. As such they are a good
match for execlist ringbuffers and a small variety of other internal
objects.
In the first iteration, this is limited to the scratch batch buffers we
use (for command parsing and state initialisation).
v2: Allocate physically contiguous pages, where possible.
v3: Reduce maximum order on subsequent requests following an allocation
failure.
v4: Fix up mismatch between swiotlb segment size and page count (it
counts in 2k units, not 4k pages)
