[PATCH 52/61] drm/i915/gt: Use ppHWSP for unshared non-semaphore related timelines

When we are not using semaphores with a context/engine, we can simply
reuse the same seqno location across wraps, but we still require each
timeline to have its own address. For LRC submission, each context is
prefixed by a per-process HWSP, which provides us with a unique location
for each context-local timeline. A shared timeline that is common to
multiple contexts will continue to use a separate page.

This enables us to create position invariant contexts should we feel the
need to relocate them.

Initially they are automatically used by Broadwell/Braswell as they do
not require independent timelines.
