[Intel-gfx] Lock dropping

So here's the real test of whether or not we missed any lock coverage in
the previous conversions (hint, maybe one or two use after frees
cropping up), dropping struct_mutex from around vm and therefore
requests.

One task left incomplete is lifting the vma->ops->set_pages() out of the
vm->mutex. I keep ending up wanting to make the page view into its own
class.

The first 13 patches should be fine, it's not until patch 14 we remove
the crutches.
