[Intel-gfx] [CI 2/6] drm/i915: Fix i915_gem_evict_for_vma (soft-pinning)

Soft-pinning depends upon being able to check for availabilty of an
interval and evict overlapping object from a drm_mm range manager very
quickly. Currently it uses a linear list, and so performance is dire and
not suitable as a general replacement. Worse, the current code will oops
if it tries to evict an active buffer.

It also helps if the routine reports the correct error codes as expected
by its callers and emits a tracepoint upon use.

For posterity since the wrong patch was pushed (i.e. that missed these
key points and had known bugs), this is the changelog that should have
been on commit 506a8e87d8d2 ("drm/i915: Add soft-pinning API for
execbuffer"):

Userspace can pass in an offset that it presumes the object is located
at. The kernel will then do its utmost to fit the object into that
location. The assumption is that userspace is handling its own object
locations (for example along with full-ppgtt) and that the kernel will
rarely have to make space for the user's requests.

This extends the DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_EXECBUFFER2 to do the following:
* if the user supplies a virtual address via the execobject->offset
  *and* sets the EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED flag in execobject->flags, then
  that object is placed at that offset in the address space selected
  by the context specifier in execbuffer.
* the location must be aligned to the GTT page size, 4096 bytes
* as the object is placed exactly as specified, it may be used by this
  execbuffer call without relocations pointing to it

It may fail to do so if:
* EINVAL is returned if the object does not have a 4096 byte aligned
  address
* the object conflicts with another pinned object (either pinned by
  hardware in that address space, e.g. scanouts in the aliasing ppgtt)
  or within the same batch.
  EBUSY is returned if the location is pinned by hardware
  EINVAL is returned if the location is already in use by the batch
* EINVAL is returned if the object conflicts with its own alignment (as meets
  the hardware requirements) or if the placement of the object does not fit
  within the address space

All other execbuffer errors apply.

Presence of this execbuf extension may be queried by passing
I915_PARAM_HAS_EXEC_SOFTPIN to DRM_IOCTL_I915_GETPARAM and checking for
a reported value of 1 (or greater).

v2: Combine the hole/adjusted-hole ENOSPC checks
v3: More color, more splitting, more blurb.
