[PATCH 24/57] drm/i915: Improve DFS for priority inheritance

[Chris Wilson]

The core of the scheduling algorithm is that we compute the topological
order of the fence DAG. Knowing that we have a DAG, we should be able to
use a DFS to compute the topological sort in linear time. However,
during the conversion of the recursive algorithm into an iterative one,
the memorization of how far we had progressed down a branch was
forgotten.
