[PATCH 2/3] drm/i915/active: Serialize access to barrier tasks lists

Barriers are now deleted from a barrier tasks list by temporarily removing
the list content, traversing that content with skip over the node to be
deleted, then adding the modified content back to the list.  Since that
complex operation is not serialized with other concurrent uses of the
list, functions that depend on the list being either empty or not empty
can take wrong decisions.

One example is intel_engine_flush_barriers(), which is expected to queue
a heartbeat request for an engine unless it finds that engine's barriers
tasks list empty.  Timeouts on infinite __i915_active_wait() occurrences
reported by igt at gem_barrier_race@remote-request subtest seem to be
potentially caused by false positives from those llist_empty() checks.

Protect concurrent access to the list pending those complex barrier delete
operations with a spinlock, and teach other sensitive users of the list to
acquire the lock.  While using a spinlock to protect a lockless list may
be considered suboptimal compared to converting the llist to a regular
list, this approach seems to provide the smallest and least invasive but
effective fix.
