In Vulkan, it is the application's responsibility to perform adequate
synchronization before a sparse unmap, replace or BO destroy operation.
This adds an option to AMDGPU_VA_OPs to disable redundant implicit sync
that happens on sparse unmap or replace operations.

This has seen a significant improvement in stutter in Forza Horizon 5
and Forza Horizon 4. (As games that had significant issues in sparse
binding related stutter).

Compared to the previous series [1], this specifically targets the VM
operations and keep everything else intact, including implicit sync on
kernel-initiated moves.

I've been able to pass a full Vulkan CTS run on Navi 10 with this.

Userspace code for this is available at [2] and a branch for the kernel
code is available at [3].

v2 changes:
- Drop the changes to flush split bindings eagerly as its incompatible
  with TLB flush quirks in current hardware. Drop the refactoring
  commits related to that change too.
- Fixed a missing doc warning.
- Removed an accidentally included ioctl change.
