Object debugging tools were sporadically reporting illegal attempts to
free a still active i915 VMA object from when parking a GPU tile believed
to be idle.

[161.359441] ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object: ffff88811643b958 object type: i915_active hint: __i915_vma_active+0x0/0x50 [i915]

That has been tracked down to be happening when another thread was
deactivating the VMA inside __active_retire() helper, after the VMA's
active counter was already decremented to 0, but before deactivation of
the VMA's object was reported to the object debugging tools.  Root cause
has been identified as premature release of last wakeref for the GPU tile
to which the active VMA belonged.

In case of single tile platforms, an engine associated with a request that
uses the VMA is keeping the tile's wakeref long enough for that VMA to be
deactivated on time, before it is going to be freed.  However, on multi-
tile platforms, a request may use a VMA from a tile other than the one
that hosts the request's engine, then, not protected with the engine's
wakeref.

Get an extra wakeref for the VMA's tile when activating it, and put that
wakeref only after the VMA is deactivated.  However, exclude GGTT from
that processing path, otherwise the GPU never goes idle.  Since
__i915_vma_retire() may be called from atomic contexts, use async variant
of wakeref put.
