[RFC PATCH 071/162] drm/i915: Keep userpointer bindings if seqcount is unchanged, v2.

From: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst at linux.intel.com>

Instead of force unbinding and rebinding every time, we try to check
if our notifier seqcount is still correct when pages are bound. This
way we only rebind userptr when we need to, and prevent stalls.
