[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/5] drm/i915: Mark up vma->active as safe for use inside shrinkers

Since a shrinker may be forced to wait on GPU activity,
i915_active_wait(&vma->active) must be safe for use inside a shrinker,
and so let's mark up the lock as being acquired by the shrinker to avoid
any nasty surprises creeping in.
