[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gem: Wait until the context is finally retired before releasing engines

[Chris Wilson]

If we want to percolate information back from the HW, up through the GEM
context, we need to wait until the intel_context is scheduled out for
the last time. This is handled by the retirement of the intel_context's
barrier, i.e. by listening to the pulse after the notional unpin.

To accommodate this, we need to be able to flush the i915_active's
barriers before awaiting on them. However, this also requires us to
ensure the context is unpinned *before* the barrier request can be
signaled, so mark it as a sentinel.
