Purge is wrong -- it needs to select a victim obj and unbind it from all
vma at once, then repeat for a new victim.

obj->pin_count is per-vma. Most of the pinning is only relevant for the
ggtt (pinned for registers), with other vma only using it for
reserve/eviction. But we can remove things from the ppgtt if they are
only pinned due to scanout, for example.

Do not start introducing i915_obj_* piecemeal, keep it i915_gem_obj_*.

debugfs needs more insight into per-vma tracking.
