[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 6/7] drm/i915/gt: Split the breadcrumb spinlock between global and contexts

As we funnel more and more contexts into the breadcrumbs on an engine,
the hold time of b->irq_lock grows. As we may then contend with the
b->irq_lock during request submission, this increases the burden upon
the engine->active.lock and so directly impacts both our execution
latency and client latency. If we split the b->irq_lock by introducing a
per-context spinlock to manage the signalers within a context, we then
only need the b->irq_lock for enabling/disabling the interrupt and can
avoid taking the lock for walking the list of contexts within the signal
worker. Even with the current setup, this greatly reduces the number of
times we have to take and fight for b->irq_lock.

Furthermore, this closes the race between enabling the signaling context
while it is in the process of being signaled and removed:

This is caused by virtual engines where although we take the breadcrumb
lock on each of the active engines, they may be different engines on
different requests, It turns out that the b->irq_lock was not a
sufficient proxy for the engine->active.lock in the case of more than
one request, so introduce an explicit lock around ce->signals.
