[PATCH i-g-t 1/2] tests: Exercise remote request vs barrier handling race

Users reported oopses on list corruptions when using i915 perf with a
number of concurrently running graphics applications.  That indicates we
are currently missing some important tests for such scenarios.  Cover
that gap.

Root cause analysis pointed out to an issue in barrier processing code and
its interaction with perf replacing kernel contexts' active barriers with
its own requests.

Add a new test intended for exercising intentionally racy barrier tasks
list processing and its interaction with other i915 subsystems.  As a
first subtest, add one that exercises the interaction of remote requests
with barrier tasks list handling, especially barrier preallocate / acquire
operations performed during context first pin / last unpin.

The code is partially inspired by Chris Wilson's igt at perf@open-race
subtest, which I was not able to get an Ack for from upstream.

v4: fix typo in test description and make it generic so it will not need
    to be changed soon (Kamil),
  - rename workload functions instead of providing name wrappers (Kamil),
  - no need for all physical engines to be tested (Kamil).
v3: don't add the new subtest to gem_ctx_exec which occurred blocklisted,
    create a new test hosting the new subtest, update commit descripion,
  - prepare parameters for perf open still in the main thread to avoid
    test failures on platforms with no perf support (will skip now),
  - call perf open with OA buffer reports disabled, this will make sure
    that the perf API doesn't unnecessarily enable the OA unit, while the
    test still runs the targeted code (Umesh),
  - replace additional code for OA exponent calculations with a reasonable
    hardcoded value (Umesh).
v2: convert to a separate subtest, not a variant of another one (that has
    been dropped from the series),
  - move the subtest out of tests/i915/perf.c (Ashutosh), add it to
    tests/i915/gem_ctx_exec.c,
  - don't touch lib/i915/perf.c (Umesh, Ashutosh), duplicate reused code
    from tests/i915/perf.c in tests/i915/gem_ctx_exec.c.
