This patchset implements a request made by Xaver Hugl about wedge events:

"I'd really like to have the PID of the client that triggered the GPU
reset, so that we can kill it if multiple resets are triggered in a
row (or switch to software rendering if it's KWin itself) and show a
user-friendly notification about why their app(s) crashed, but that
can be added later."

For testing, I've used amdgpu's debug_mask options debug_disable_soft_recovery
and debug_disable_gpu_ring_reset to test both wedge event paths in the driver.
To trigger a ring timeout, I've used this app:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/andrealmeid/gpu-timeout

Thanks!

Changelog:

v7:
 - Change `char *comm` to `char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]`
 - New patches to encapsulate struct drm_wedge_task_info inside of struct
   amdgpu_task_info
 - Remove struct cast for struct amdgpu_task_info, now we can use `info =
   &ti->task`
 - Fix struct lifetime, move amdgpu_vm_put_task_info() after
   drm_dev_wedged_event() call

v6:
 - Check if PID >= 0 for displaying the task info
 - s/app/task in a comment

v5:
 - Change from app to task also in structs, commit message and docs
 - Add a check for NULL or empty task name string

v4:
 - Change from APP to TASK
 - Add defines for event_string and pid_string length

v3:
 - Make comm_string and pid_string empty when there's no app info
 - Change "app that caused ..." to "app involved ..."
 - Clarify that devcoredump have more information about what happened

v2:
  - Rebased on top of drm/drm-next
  - Added new patch for documentation
