[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v8 1/6] drm/i915: Add per context timelines to fence object

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

The fence object used inside the request structure requires a sequence
number. Although this is not used by the i915 driver itself, it could
potentially be used by non-i915 code if the fence is passed outside of
the driver. This is the intention as it allows external kernel drivers
and user applications to wait on batch buffer completion
asynchronously via the dma-buff fence API.

To ensure that such external users are not confused by strange things
happening with the seqno, this patch adds in a per context timeline
that can provide a guaranteed in-order seqno value for the fence. This
is safe because the scheduler will not re-order batch buffers within a
context - they are considered to be mutually dependent.

v2: New patch in series.

v3: Renamed/retyped timeline structure fields after review comments by
Tvrtko Ursulin.

Added context information to the timeline's name string for better
identification in debugfs output.

v5: Line wrapping and other white space fixes to keep style checker
happy.

v7: Updated to newer nightly (lots of ring -> engine renaming).

v8: Moved to earlier in patch series so no longer needs to remove the
quick hack timeline that was being added before.

For: VIZ-5190
