I agree that we need vma->active, but I'm not sold on removing
obj->active. Atm we have to use-cases for checking obj->active:
- In the evict/unbind code to check whether the gpu is still using this
  specific mapping. This use-case nicely fits into checking vma->active.
- In the shrinker code and everywhere we want to do cpu access we only
  care about whether the gpu is accessing the object, not at all through
  which mapping precisely. There a vma-independant obj->active sounds much
  saner.

Note though that just keeping track of vma->active isn't too useful, since
if some other vma is keeping the object busy we'll still stall on that one
for eviction. So we'd need a vma->ring and vma->last_rendering_seqno, too.

At that point I wonder a bit whether all this complexity is worth it ...

I need to ponder this some more.

For paranoia we might want to track the vm used to run a batch in it
request struct, then we
