[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] lib/intel_memory_region: Use separate context for probing offset and alignment

[Zbigniew Kempczyński]

Probing alignment/offset (A/O) in default context works properly only
when there're no processes which competes on same vm space. To avoid
risk that single probe will be called on already used offset in another
process lets use dedicated context for this purpose.

In other words when forking occur without A/O cache filled (subject of
COW) children will exercise A/O individually. Using same default context
leads to risk of probing offset which is in flight in another child
thus we can get different A/O. Such behavior is not allowed as allocator
infrastructure requires same type, strategy and alignment on single vm.
We expect coherent A/O in different children so use separate context
to fill this requirement.
