[PATCH] drm/syncobj: Add deadline support for syncobj waits

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

Add a new flag to let userspace provide a deadline as a hint for syncobj
and timeline waits.  This gives a hint to the driver signaling the
backing fences about how soon userspace needs it to compete work, so it
can addjust GPU frequency accordingly.  An immediate deadline can be
given to provide something equivalent to i915 "wait boost".

v2: Use absolute u64 ns value for deadline hint, drop cap and driver
    feature flag in favor of allowing count_handles==0 as a way for
    userspace to probe kernel for support of new flag
v3: More verbose comments about UAPI
v4: Fix negative zero, s/deadline_ns/deadline_nsec/ for consistency with
    existing ioctl struct fields

Discussion on mesa MR (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/2197)
seems to have died down.  So resending this as a singlton.  This version
has some minor cosmetic cleanups compared to the previous iteration.

There are some other remaining UABI bits, waiting for someone to have a
chance to implement userspace for, such as sync_file SET_DEADLINE ioctl,
which can be found: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/93035/
