[Intel-gfx] [CI 2/2] drm/i915: Flush the freed object list on file close

[Chris Wilson]

As we increase the number of RCU objects, it becomes easier for us to
have several hundred thousand objects in the deferred RCU free queues.
An example is gem_ctx_create/files which continually creates active
contexts, which are not immediately freed upon close as they are kept
alive by outstanding requests. This lack of backpressure allows the
context objects to persist until they overwhelm and starve the system.
We can increase our backpressure by flushing the freed object queue upon
closing the device fd which should then not impact other clients.

Testcase: igt/gem_ctx_create/*files
