[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] drm/i915: Avoid lock dropping between rescheduling

[Chris Wilson]

Unlocking is dangerous. In this case we combine an early update to the
out-of-queue request, because we know that it will be inserted into the
correct FIFO priority-ordered slot when it becomes ready in the future.
However, given sufficient enthusiasm, it may become ready as we are
continuing to reschedule, and so may gazump the FIFO if we have since
dropped its spinlock. The result is that it may be executed too early,
before its dependencies.

v2: Move all work into the second phase over the topological sort. This
removes the shortcut on the out-of-rbtree request to ensure that we only
adjust its priority after adjusting all of its dependencies.

Fixes: 20311bd35060 ("drm/i915/scheduler: Execute requests in order of priorities")
Testcase: igt/gem_exec_whisper
