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

OK, here is my understanding. We do context pin/unpin during create/free 
request or during submit/retire request but with condition (dirty) 
check. So the context pincount will be # of requests plus 1, if it is 
dirty. Dirty means that context likely is accessed by HW, while 
not-dirty means HW is not accessing the lrc at that moment. This extra 
pincount will be held until we receive retire of request from a 
different context.

The switch to idle context and wait looks good to me too. I tested it 
out and it fixes the hang issue when GuC is enabled.

Thanks,
Alex
