drm/i915: Track which ring a context ran on
Previously we dropped the association of a context to a ring. It is
however very important to know which ring a context ran on (we could
have reused the other member, but I was nitpicky).
This is very important when we switch address spaces, which unlike
context objects, do change per ring.
As an example, if we have:
RCS BCS
ctx A
ctx A
ctx B
ctx B
Without tracking the last ring B ran on, we wouldn't know to switch the
address space on BCS in the last row.
But this is not really true, because we are already checking to != from (with
"from" being = ring->last_context) and that should be enough to make sure we
switch to the right address space.
We would have a problem if we switched the context object for every ring (since
then we would fail to do it in some situations) but we only switch it for the
render ring, so we don't care.
