[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Unshare the idle-barrier from other kernel requests

Under some circumstances (see intel_context_prepare_remote_request), we
may use a requst along a kernel context to modify the logical state of
another. To keep the target context in place while the request executes,
we take an active reference on it using the kernel timeline. This is the
same timeline as we use for the idle-barrier, and so we end up reusing
the same active node. Except that the idle barrier is special and cannot
be reused in this manner! Give the idle-barrier a reserved timeline
index (0) so that is will always be unique (give or take we may issue
multiple idle barriers across multiple engines).
