[RFC 3/3] drm/i915: Waitboost external waits

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Userspace waits coming via the drm_syncobj route have so far been
bypassing the waitboost mechanism.

Use the previously added dma-fence wait tracking API and apply the
same waitboosting logic which applies to other entry points.

This should fix the perfomance regressions experience by clvk and
similar userspace which relies on drm_syncobj.

At the same time, but for documentation purposes only, use the new
dma-fence API from i915_request_wait too.
