[Intel-gfx] [RFC 35/37] drm/i915/preempt: update (LRC) ringbuffer-filling code to create preemptive requests

From: Dave Gordon <david.s.gordon at intel.com>

This patch refactors the rinbuffer-level code (in execlists/GuC mode
only) and enhances it so that it can emit the proper sequence of opcode
for preemption requests.

A preemption request is similar to an batch submission, but doesn't
actually invoke a batchbuffer, the purpose being simply to get the
engine to stop what it's doing so that the scheduler can then send it a
new workload instead.

Preemption requests use different locations in the hardware status page
to hold the 'active' and 'done' seqnos from regular batches, so that
information pertaining to a preempted batch is not overwritten. Also,
whereas a regular batch clears its 'active' flag when it finishes (so
that TDR knows it's no longer to blame), preemption requests leave this
set and the driver clears it once the completion of the preemption
request has been noticed. Only one preemption (per ring) can be in
progress at one time, so this handshake ensures correct sequencing of
the request between the GPU and CPU.

Actually-preemptive requests are still disabled via a module parameter
at this stage, but all the components should now be ready for us to turn
it on :)

For: VIZ-2021
