From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

This is the outcome of trying to fix some bad gpu freq behavior seen in
some use-cases, in particular mobile games that throttle themselves to
30fps.  With the existing tuning, we'd end up spending most of the time
that we should be running fast at a low freq, and most of the idle time
at a high freq.

First two patches are prep, 3/3 is the interesting bit.  See the patch
description in 3/3 for more details.

v2: struct_mutex serializes the submit path, but not the retire path,
    so add a dedicated lock to serialize active<->idle transitions.
