[PATCH 0/6] drm/amdgpu: Add flag to disable implicit sync for GEM operations.

In Vulkan, it is the application's responsibility to perform adequate
synchronization before a sparse unmap, replace or BO destroy operation.
This adds an option to AMDGPU_VA_OPs to disable redundant implicit sync
that happens on sparse unmap or replace operations.

This has seen a significant improvement in stutter in Forza Horizon 5
and Forza Horizon 4. (As games that had significant issues in sparse
binding related stutter).

This patchset also address a tangential issue that some changes were
not being flushed immediately after the ioctls, but were deferred to be
processed on the next CS submission, which also results in stalling.
A refactor of state machine is included to achieve this.

Compared to the previous series [1], this specifically targets the VM
operations and keep everything else intact, including implicit sync on
kernel-initiated moves.

I've been able to pass a full Vulkan CTS run on Navi 10 with this.

Userspace code for this is available at [2] and a branch for the kernel
code is available at [3].
