[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 1/5] drm/i915: Implement a framework for batch buffer pools

From: Brad Volkin <bradley.d.volkin at intel.com>

This adds a small module for managing a pool of batch buffers.
The only current use case is for the command parser, as described
in the kerneldoc in the patch. The code is simple, but separating
it out makes it easier to change the underlying algorithms and to
extend to future use cases should they arise.

The interface is simple: init to create an empty pool, fini to
clean it up; get to obtain a new buffer, put to return it to the
pool. Note that all buffers must be returned to the pool before
cleaning up the pool.

Buffers are purgeable while in the pool, but not explicitly
truncated in order to avoid overhead during execbuf.

Locking is currently based on the caller holding the struct_mutex.
We already do that in the places where we will use the batch pool
for the command parser.

v2:
- s/BUG_ON/WARN_ON/ for locking assertions
- Remove the cap on pool size
- Switch from alloc/free to init/fini

v3:
- Idiomatic looping structure in _fini
- Correct handling of purged objects
- Don't return a buffer that's too much larger than needed

v4:
- Rebased to latest -nightly
