[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Annotate dma_fence waits

i915_request_wait is simply our i915-optimized version of
dma_fence_wait. They both use the exact same code. To help lockdep
discovering all the dependencies, annotate it.

v2: We do opportunistic retiring of dma-fences while holding
struct_mutex. The recursion this causes is intentional, and we do have
other paths which (hopefully) do depend upon the struct_mutex. 2nd
option to fix these annotations (and probably even better) would be
creating a dma_fence_signal_opportunistic, which doesnt have the
lockdep annotations. But that also doesn't guarantee that we'll
actually manage to signal fences without depending upon struct_mutex
somewhere, so might as well go with this trick here.

Aside, for non-i915 people: struct_mutex is our bkl. The locking rules
are ... complicated.
