[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Remove i915_request.lock requirement for execution callbacks

[Chris Wilson]

We are using the i915_request.lock to serialise adding an execution
callback with __i915_request_submit. However, if we use an atomic
llist_add to serialise multiple waiters and then check to see if the
request is already executing, we can remove the irq-spinlock.
