[PATCH 4/4] drm/i915/gem: Use chained reloc batches

The ring is a precious resource: we anticipate to only use a few hundred
bytes for a request, and only try to reserve that before we start. If we
go beyond our guess in building the request, then instead of waiting at
the start of execbuf before we hold any locks or other resources, we
may trigger a wait inside a critical region. One example is in using gpu
relocations, where currently we emit a new MI_BB_START from the ring
every time we overflow a page of relocation entries. However, instead of
insert the command into the precious ring, we can chain the next page of
relocation entries as MI_BB_START from the end of the previous.

Testcase: igt/gem_exec_reloc/basic-many-active
