[PATCH v4 0/2] drm/ttm: Really use a separate LRU list for swapped- and pinned objects

Resources of swapped objects were never moved off their LRU list
when swapped, and also resources of pinned objects might remain on
their LRU list unless the driver moved them to the device pinned list
after pinning.

Rename the device "pinned" list to "unevictable" and ensure that resources
of objects that are pinned or swapped are moved to that list.

RFC: Should we instead of a device-wide unevictable list, introduce an
unevictable priority so that all objects remain with their resource's
respective manager?

Patch 1/2 deals with swapped objects and also handles the problem of
moving objects back to their manager's LRU list when populating.

Patch 2/2 deals with pinned objects.

v2:
- Address review comments by Christian König.
- Make TTM KUNIT tests build.

v3:
- Fix a couple of NULL pointer dereferences (Intel CI).

v4:
- Fix even more NULL pointer dereferences (Intel CI).
  The bulk move handling appears pretty fragile...
