[PATCH v4 1/5] drm/i915: Throttle for ringspace prior to taking the timeline mutex

[Andi Shyti]

From: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>

Before taking exclusive ownership of the ring for emitting the request,
wait for space in the ring to become available. This allows others to
take the timeline->mutex to make forward progresses while userspace is
blocked.

In particular, this allows regular clients to issue requests on the
kernel context, potentially filling the ring, but allow the higher
priority heartbeats and pulses to still be submitted without being
blocked by the less critical work.
