[PATCH v2 1/2] drm/i915/gem: Flush contexts on driver release

Due to i915_perf assuming that it can use the i915_gem_context reference
to protect its i915->gem.contexts.list iteration, we need to defer removal
of the context from the list until last reference to the context is put.
However, there is a risk of triggering kernel warning on contexts list not
empty at driver release time if we deleagate that task to a worker for
i915_gem_context_release_work(), unless that work is flushed first.
Unfortunately, it is not flushed on driver release.  Fix it.

Instead of additionally calling flush_workqueue(), either directly or via
a new dedicated wrapper around it, replace last call to
i915_gem_drain_freed_objects() with existing i915_gem_drain_workqueue()
that performs both tasks.
