[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Change context lifecycle

Use the first retired request on a new context to unpin
the old context. This ensures that the hw context remains
bound until it has been saved.
Now that the context is pinned until later in the request/context
lifecycle, it no longer needs to be pinned from context_queue to
retire_requests.
The refcount on the context also has to be extended to cover this
new longer period.
