[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v5 25/35] drm/i915: Added scheduler queue throttling by DRM file handle

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

The scheduler decouples the submission of batch buffers to the driver
from their subsequent submission to the hardware. This means that an
application which is continuously submitting buffers as fast as it can
could potentialy flood the driver. To prevent this, the driver now
tracks how many buffers are in progress (queued in software or
executing in hardware) and limits this to a given (tunable) number. If
this number is exceeded then the queue to the driver will return
EAGAIN and thus prevent the scheduler's queue becoming arbitrarily
large.

v3: Added a missing decrement of the file queue counter.

v4: Updated a comment.

v5: Updated due to changes to earlier patches in series - removing
forward declarations and white space. Also added some documentation.
